Software Engineering

Chapter 6: Impediments to Software Design.
 This chapter examines the 
underlying characteristics of software that cause its “design” praxis to be 
unconventional and more difficult to fathom. It investigates the characteristics 
of software as a design and construction material that challenges conventional 
engineering scrutiny. This chapter presents the software engineering principles 
that govern the design of software products. Finally, this chapter introduces the 
software design chasm to contrive a resolution which permits software products 
to be engineered and designed.
