Why writing software is not like engineering. by Terence Parr - 5 views

software engineering thoughts

shared by Fabien Cadet on 04 Apr 10 - Cached
  • ...30% of all software projects are canceled, nearly half come in over budget, 60% are considered failures by the organizations that initiated them, and 9 out of 10 come in late.
  • Unfortunately, midcourse design changes happen in software all the time
  • In fact, the agile software development method is a direct response to ever-changing design requirements.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Still, constant changes to the design hamper development efforts and developers must constantly refactor software to prevent it from becoming a tangled, unmaintainable mess.
  • If you look at software today, through the lens of the history of engineering, it's certainly engineering of a sort--but it's the kind of engineering that people without the concept of the arch did. Most software today is very much like an Egyptian pyramid with millions of bricks piled on top of each other, with no structural integrity, but just done by brute force and thousands of slaves.

software engineering

  • The guys and gals who show up every day eager to hone their craft, who are passionate about building stuff that matters to them, and perhaps in some small way, to the rest of the world -- those are the people and projects that will ultimately succeed.
  • Everything else is just noise.
  • If you want to move your project forward, the only reliable way to do that is to cultivate a deep sense of software craftsmanship and professionalism around it.
  • Fabien Cadet on 19 Jul 09
     
    « I'm gradually coming to the conclusion that software engineering is an idea whose time has come and gone. Software development is and always will be somewhat experimental. The actual software construction isn't necessarily experimental, but its conception is. And this is where our focus ought to be. It's where our focus always ought to have been. » __ Tom DeMarco

    This article is in french, sorry for that but I could find no relevant group to share this. Briefly it talks about how programmers (those who actually code) are perceived here in France: As guys dwelling the bottom of the hierarchy, whom only ambition *should be* to become lead progr. or better (architect, project lead, ...). i.e. programmer is not really seen as a career.
  • Fabien Cadet on 07 Aug 09
     
    A brief translation of the intro.: « Yes, being a programmer when you're 30+ yo in France is worst than being a 40+ yo cashier. Most of the people who spend 90% of their time programming will try to be perceived as R&D engineers, project lead, solution architect, consultant, etc.. The best, when you're a poor contractor of an "software engineering company", in mission for a banque, et that you spend you days coding, is telling people that you are Engineer in finance. »

      Schwartz gives the strong impression of an IT company _without_ its hand in your pocket. It is a similar attitude and reputation, though with proprietary software, rather than services (for free software), that seems to have made Microsoft so wealthy in the late eighties and nineties.
  • Solaris OEM agreements with IBM, Dell, Intel, Fujitsu and HP are so important to our end customers - they know they'll never be locked in.
  • These open source platforms generate, alongside the services attached to them, over a billion dollars a year, making Sun by far and away the world's largest open source software company.

book: Exercises in programming styles, by Chritina Videira Lopes - 10 views

    "In the 1940s, the French writer Raymond Queneau wrote a jewel of a book called Exercises in Style, featuring 99 renditions of the exact same story, each written in a different style. The story being fairly trivial and always the same, the book highlights form, rather than content; it illustrates how the decisions we make in telling a story affect the perception of that story. Inspired by Queneau, I decided to embark on the project of writing the exact same computational task in as many styles as I have come across over the years. Exercises in Programming Style (#EPSBook) features 33 renditions of a simple computational task -- counting the frequency of words in a given file. All renditions are written in Python. This book is a companion text for code that is publicly available in Github. Software developers with many years of experience may enjoy revisiting familiar programming styles in the broad context of this book and learning about styles that may not be part of their normal repertoire. This book can be used as a textbook for advanced programming courses in Computer Science and Software Engineering programs. Additional teaching materials, such as lecture slides and implementations of each style in other languages, are also available."

  • Consequently, it is not reasonable to expect us to make sound business or technical decisions on behalf of the customers, or to resolve conflicting requirements supplied by different end users, or to set priorities for the many requirements that might be collected.
  • We have finally reached the state where if no project champion can be found to see that the right system is built, we cancel the project.
  • The consequence of not explicitly discussing these quality tradeoffs is a surprise upon delivery, when the customer finds that his implicit quality attribute requirements have not been achieved
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • One way to reach an appropriate middle ground in the specification process is to conduct formal inspections of the SRS. A structured document like the IEEE SRS is readily inspected by the design team, the project champions, other representative users, and other software engineers who are not directly involved with the project

      sadly, this is something that is always left to the end to 'clean up'. Meaning, the spec is complete when the project is delivered versus kept up to date and in sync with what we are delivering.
  • A prototype is intended to answer specific questions about functionality or interaction styles. If you don't have any questions, don't bother with a prototype
  • Even in a small software group, a focus on accurately and completely capturing, documenting, and modeling the user requirements is a major contributor to building high quality information systems

  • 1. Usability Software usability can be described as how effectively end users can use, learn, or control the system
  • 2. Maintainability ( or Flexibility / Testibility) The definition of maintainability [for me] implies how brittle the code is to change
  • 3. Scalability Scalability is the ability for your program to gracefully meet the demand of stress caused by increased usage
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • 4. Availability (or Reliability) How long the system is up and running and the Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) is known as the availability of a program
  • 5. Extensibility Are there points in the system where changes can be made with (or without) program changes?
  • 6. Security I shouldn’t need to go into this one but to be thorough I like this definition of security: the measure of system’s ability to resist unauthorized attempts at usage or behavior modification, while still providing service to legitimate users.
  • 7. Portability Portability is the ability for your application to run on numerous platforms.

  • the singleton pattern is a design pattern that is used to restrict instantiation of a class to one object.
  • Tarik Guney on 03 Nov 09
     
    In software engineering, the singleton pattern is a design pattern that is used to restrict instantiation of a class to one object. This is useful when exactly one object is needed to coordinate actions across the system. The concept is sometimes generalized to systems that operate more efficiently when only one object exists, or that restrict the instantiation to a certain number of objects (say, five). Some consider it an anti-pattern, judging that it is overused, introduces unnecessary limitations in situations where a sole instance of a class is not actually required, and introduces global state into an application.
