crises of the software.

Many industry observers (including this writer) have characterized the problems of software development as a "crisis." More than a few books (eg, [GLA97] [FLO97], [YOU98a]) said that the impact of some of the most spectacular software failures over the past decade has occurred. However, the great successes achieved by the software industry, many question whether the term software crisis is still relevant. Robert Glass, author of several books on software failures, are representative of those who have a change of heart. He claims [GLA98]. I see my failure stories and see exception reporting, spectacular failures in the midst of many successes, a cup that [now] almost complete "It is true that software people more often than they succeed. This is also true that software crisis predicted 30 years ago that never seemed to materializ What we really have anything to else .. The crisis of the term is defined in Webster's dictionary as, but in terms of overall software quality and speed of computer systems, base and products develop "a turning point in the course of something important or decisive stage time or event" No ". turning point, "not" time critical "only slow, evolutionary change, punctuated by explosive technological changes in discipline related to software. The crisis of the word has a different definition:" turning point in the course of a disease when it becomes clear whether the patient will live or die. "This definition can give us a clue about the nature of the real problems that plague software development that we really could be better characterized. as a chronic pain affliction.2 word is defined as "But nothing causes pain or distress." definition of chronic family name is the key to our argument "length long or often repeated, continuing indefinitely." It is more correct problems in the software industry must endure as a chronic pain described as a crisis.
