ABSTRACT

Engineering reliable software is possible. It is a problem of managing organizational structures. A theory is proposed which organizes the software development process. The theory predicts the effectiveness of several techniques and explains their disparate contributions to productivity. This prediction is compared with empirical studies of these techniques and the theory appears corroborated.
