3 ;;Quote: a software engineer creates models of physical situations in software
4 ;;Quote: constructing stable software is like constructing a skyscraper that depends on every detail fitting exactly
9 ;;Quote: software maintenance consists of enhancements (60%), adaptations (20%), and corrections (20%)
9 ;;Quote: system testing, enhancement and adaptation takes three-fourths of total life-cycle effort
QuoteRef: fairRE_1985 ;; [Despite the importance of software maintenance, the software maintenance chapter is 19 pages in a 364 page book. The only shorter chapter is the summary. The next longest chapter is 22 pages for Software Cost Estimation.
15 ;;Quote: Sackman's programmer productivity experiment found 25:1 variation between best and worst programmer and 5:1 typical variation
117 ;;Quote: software tools support problem solving by humans; e.g., PSL does not solve requirements problems, it provides analysis and formatting
209 ;;Quote: style is the consistent pattern of choices; good coding style is easily understood, straightforward, and elegant
219 ;;Quote: programming guidelines require motivation, participation, revision, exceptions, and automated adherence
230 ;;Quote: software engineering will remain a craft until able to develop building-block software
