7 Complementary and conflicting goals in a software project Of these, meeting users’ needs (validation), reducing software costs, improving reliability (verification) and delivery on time are probably the four most important presentday problems. Many people argue that things have been so bad – and continue to be so bad – that there is a continuing real “crisis” in software development. They argue that something must be done about the situation, and the main remedy must be to bring more scientific principles to bear on the problem – hence the introduction of the term software engineering.
The recognition that we cannot produce bug-free software, however hard we try, has led to the concept of good enough software. This means that the developer assesses what level of faults are acceptable for the particular project and releases the software when this level is reached. By level, we mean the number and severity of faults. For some applications, such as a word processor, more faults are acceptable than in a safety critical system, such as a drive-by-wire car. Note that this means that good enough software is sold or put into productive use knowing that it contains bugs.
We know, for example, that a system to predict lottery results cannot work. But a system to recognize voice commands is borderline. A system to download and play DVD-quality movies into people’s homes is also borderline. 3 ● Cost-benefit analysis In engineering, there has long been a tradition of assessing available technology, for example, the use of reinforced concrete in building. Similarly in computer-based information systems, a number of techniques have been used in advance of building a system in order to determine whether the system will be worthwhile.
