Software Engineering Theory
• History
• 1945-65 (Origins)
• Margaret H. Hamilton is the person who came up with the idea of naming the
discipline, software engineering..
• The NATO Science Committee sponsored two conferences on software
engineering in 1968 & 1969, which gave the field its initial boost.

SEPNT Introduction 8
Software Engineering Theory
• History
• 1965-85 (The Software Crisis)
• Many projects ran over budget and schedule, caused property damage & loss of life.
• The software crisis was originally defined in terms of productivity, but evolved to
emphasize quality.
• Some used the term software crisis to refer to their inability to hire enough qualified
programmers.

SEPNT Introduction 9
Software Engineering Theory
• History
• 1985 -1989 (No Silver Bullet)
• In 1986, Fred Brooks published a “No Silver Bullet” article, arguing that no individual
technology or practice would ever make a 10-fold improvement in productivity within 10
years.
• The search for a single key to success never worked
• All known technologies and practices have only made incremental improvements to
productivity and quality.

• Technology Assets Without Realization of Business Value
• Requirement Management
• Requirements Overload leading to project delay and issues
• Representational Gap
• Re-engineering costs due to non-traceability of deployed Systems to requirements.
• Technology Paralysis
• Obsolescence & non-upgradeability of Technology
• Quality Of Service
• Technology performance, security, availability etc not in sync with business

SEPNT Introduction 19
Software Engineering Enterprise Theory
• Technology & Business Challenges
• Uninterrupted Root Cause Analysis
• “When a System fails, can we do root cause analysis without affecting work ?”.
• Standardization
• High cost of maintenance of heterogeneous non-integrated applications & Skills
shortage.
• Architecture Centricism
• Loss of effort due to non-prioritization of engineering & functionality risks
• Change Management
• Increasing cost of Systems extensibility due to non-open design method (design
paralysis).

SEPNT Introduction 20
Software Engineering Enterprise Theory
• Technology & Business Challenges
• Configuration Management
• Limited control over packaging of IT assets “does the right functionality and quality of
Product reach the user ”.
• Knowledge Management
• High Turn Around for learning and adapting by various teams
