A Discipline for Software Engineering

Designed to help individual programmers develop software more effectively and successfully, this book presents a scaled-down version of Humphrey's popular methods for managing the software process. It: presents concepts and methods for a disciplined software engineering process for individual programmers, following the Capability Maturity Model (CMM); scales down industrial practices for planning, tracking, analysis and defect management to fit the needs of small-scale program development; and provides readers with a solid base for work in industry on much larger projects.
