Human-centric software engineering
FoSER '10: Proceedings of the FSE/SDP workshop on Future of software engineering researchResearch into how humans interact with computers has a long and rich history. Only a small fraction of this research has considered how humans interact with computers when engineering software. A similarly small amount of research has considered how ...
Critical Decisions in Software Development: Updating the State of the Practice
This article focuses on how to choose the "right" software development process, how to structure global software design chains, how to manage the interaction of project structure and software design, and how to balance innovation and efficiency in a ...
Emphasizing Human Capabilities in Software Development
The human dimension is a critical factor in any organization, especially in software companies where the production process is essentially intellectual. One key aspect of the software engineering workforce is identifying the people best suited for ...
