An inteview with Brian Kernighan, co-developer of AWK and AMPL - AMPL, AWK, a-z of programming languages, Brian Kernighan - Computerworld

  • Programming today depends more and more on combining large building blocks and less on detailed logic of little things, though there's certainly enough of that as well.

Software Quality Has a New Name: CISQ

  • Asserting that current methods for evaluating the capabilities of software vendors have become passe, the Carnegie Mellon Software Engineering Institute (SEI) and the Object Management Group (OMG)
    announced a partnership to sponsor the Consortium of IT Software
    Quality (CISQ), an industry-led initiative to address the measurement
    of critical IT application quality attributes.
  • he SEI's Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI),
    which was founded years ago and is currently the de facto standard, is
    no longer enough to properly evaluate software development capabilities
    and differentiate vendors.

cm scm software development

  • We created many iterations with absolutely no room for error and no slack time at all. CM in this case focused on the short project needs because the risk of our competition beating us was far greater than the risk of failing to take a longer term "product" view. In the end - we beat our competition to the market.
  • There were a number of times in which we discovered that the fix did not work as expected and we saved valuable time by rejecting the release earlier in the process. I had effectively partnered with the business representative and started getting a decidedly stronger "product" view while still helping us to meet our project deadlines.

scrum software cost estimation

  • For those teams that are new to Scrum, I do not recommend eliminating task estimates until you have established a stable velocity.
  • Once you have a stable velocity, however, you can use the concepts of story points and velocity to eliminate the need for task estimates in sprint planning. The time you used to spend estimating tasks can then be used more wisely to create working software.
