Abstract

A variety of programming accidents, i.e., models, methods, artifacts, and tools, are examined to determine that each has a step that programmers find very painful. Consequently, they habitually avoid or postpone the step. This pain is generally where the programming accident meets requirements, the essence of software, and their relentless volatility. Hence, there is no silver bullet. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2004.
