Inherent Risks in Object-Oriented Development

Abstract

Object orientation has been in existence since the late 1970s. During the 1990s, however, on the basis of various claims that it was a dramatic, new software engineering approach, object-oriented software development became pervasive. Currently, most new software projects use object-oriented (OO) techniques to various extents. The persistence of schedule slips and cost over-runs, particularly in the case of the development of large-scale, software-intensive systems, raises the need for revisiting the basics and exploring the inherent risks that OO technology might contribute to the overall risk profile of a project.
