Author :
Baudoin, Claude R. ; Kantor, Jeffrey P.
Abstract :
The situation that exists in the equipment industry with respect to software development is examined. Some of the causes for this situation are explored. The elements of a complete approach to this problem (with applicability to software suppliers and system integrators as well as to equipment makers) are presented, and the interdependency between these various elements is indicated. Practical steps that can be taken by suppliers to redress the current lag in software engineering capability are discussed
