Software Engineering Institute, Annual Report 2001
Abstract
It is software that provides a system's "brains, heart, and soul" and the ability to interact with people and other systems Whether on the battlefield or in the global marketplace, delivering the right software to end users is fundamental to success. The challenge is to do it faster than anyone else, but with predictable performance, quality, cost, and schedule. New technical challenges make the development of software more difficult and require the development and adoption of new software engineering practices. The SEI exists to help others improve their software engineering capabilities by advancing the state of the practice of software engineering. With this in mind, the SEI's work is centered on three technical themes: move to the left, reuse everything and never make the same mistake twice. These three themes provide a conceptual framework for the SEI's comprehensive body of work, which is summarized in this annual report. The SEI annual report for fiscal year 2001 presents the SEI's major accomplishments in pursuit of its mission and summarizes progress toward achieving the SEI's vision for the practice of software engineering" "the right software, delivered defect free, on time and on cost, every time."
