MoSCoW method. The MoSCoW method is a prioritization technique used in management, business analysis, project management, and software development to reach a common understanding with stakeholders on the importance they place on the delivery of each requirement; it is also known as MoSCoW prioritization or MoSCoW analysis.
Software project management is the process of planning and leading software projects. [1] It is a sub-discipline of project management in which software projects are planned, implemented, monitored and controlled.
Software engineering is an engineering approach to software development. [1][2][3] A practitioner, called a software engineer, applies the engineering design process to develop software. The terms programmer and coder overlap software engineer, but they imply only the construction aspect of typical software engineer workload.
For example, software maps represent a specialized approach that "can express and combine information about software development, software quality, and system dynamics". [12] Software quality also plays a role in the release phase of a software project.
No Silver Bullet. " No Silver Bullet—Essence and Accident in Software Engineering " is a widely discussed paper on software engineering written by Turing Award winner Fred Brooks in 1986. [1] Brooks argues that "there is no single development, in either technology or management technique, which by itself promises even one order of magnitude ...
Robert E. Park (while at the Software Engineering Institute) and others developed a framework for defining SLOC values, to enable people to carefully explain and define the SLOC measure used in a project. For example, most software systems reuse code, and determining which (if any) reused code to include is important when reporting a measure.
Software product line. Software product lines (SPLs), or software product line development, refers to software engineering methods, tools and techniques for creating a collection of similar software systems from a shared set of software assets using a common means of production. [1][2] The Carnegie Mellon Software Engineering Institute defines ...
Experimental software engineering is a branch of software engineering interested in devising experiments on software, in collecting data from the experiments, and in devising laws and theories from this data.
