Abstract
In general, computer software is getting more complicated at an increasing rate. Unfortunately, the people who have to develop this software have been at it for only a relatively short time. The result is predictable: ever-larger software troubles. This, in turn, leads many people to feel insecure about software development, to think of it as a modern "black art" for which even the most able practitioners lose the recipe every few months.
