The solutions involve moving from harmful patterns of software development to effective patterns of software development. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first section of the book examines common software development problems that have been observed in many companies and government agencies. The data on the problems comes from consulting studies, breach of contract lawsuits, and the literature on major software failures. This section considers the factors involved with cost overruns, schedule delays, canceled projects, poor quality, and expensive maintenance after deployment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe second section shows patterns that lead to software success. The data comes from actual companies. The section's first chapter on Corporate Software Risk Reduction in a Fortune 500 company was based on a major telecom company whose CEO was troubled by repeated software failures. The other chapters in this section deal with methods of achieving excellence, as well as measures that can prove excellence to C-level executives, and with continuing excellence through the maintenance cycle as well as for software development.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45241294520471,"sku":"9781032017228","price":4441.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781032017228.webp?v=1769228261","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/software-development-patterns-and-antipatterns-9781032017228","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
