What is a Software Engineering Environment (SEE). (Desired Characteristics).

Abstract

The technology of developing software has made significant advances in the past several years. Some supervisors, however, still treat it as if it were a black art and have no notion of how much progress is being made in the development of computer programs. This can only mean that the software effort is being performed by archaic methods and without the proper support tools. This report defines an environment for developing software. A proper environment not only aids the developer of the software but also helps the supervisor in managing the development and supports the creation of maintainable computer programs. The various phases of software development are described briefly and the characteristics of a facility to support the development in each phase are indicated.
