Why Software sucks

Gian Maria Ricci — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 06:34:44 GMT

"...the programmers and architects and managers who develop software don't understand their customers anywhere near as well as they should, as well as designers in other industries have been forced to"

"As with many areas of computing, user interface design is a highly specialized skill, of which most programmer knows nothing"

"Programmers value control more than ease of use, concentrating on making complex things possible instead of making simple things simple."

"User interface design guru Alan Cooper defines a "computer-literate user" as one who has been hurt so many times that the scar tissue is thick enough so he ho longer feels the pain"

"The human dimension is the first problem that any security system need to solve, and very few even attempt it".

Da Why software sucks di David S.Platt.

Debbo dire che è un libro veramente carino che si fa leggere decisamente bene. Sono rimasto sorpreso anche dal fatto che c'è una lunga sessione dedicata alla sicurezza. Sicuramente un libro da leggere.

The first step toward process maturity is to define a project's rhythm. Once this rhythm is established, then and only then can the project work to keep improving the beat.

Citazione sull’architettura

Gian Maria Ricci — Sat, 03 Nov 2007 13:14:19 GMT

The single most important determinant of the quality of a software system is its architecture. A good architecture keeps concerns of different kinds separate so that a change in one does not affect other parts of the system. ………. The architecture is manifested in an early and critical version of the system, a version that can be made executable, a version we call the architecture baseline.

Gestione dei requisiti

Gian Maria Ricci — Sat, 27 Oct 2007 07:17:12 GMT

Esistono libri od articoli che talvolta contengono frasi molto interessanti e che racchiudono in poche righe grandi verità, per questa ragione ho creato nel mio blog una categoria chiamata "citazioni" in cui metterò qualche citazione. Inizio con questa presa da Aspect oriented software developement with use cases

"If you want to build the correct system, you have to get the requirements correct. This does not necessarily mean thick and huge volumes of documents. You must understand the motivation behind the stated requirements, the stakeholders' concerns. And that is paramount."
