Evolution and Melioration of Software Management Processes

Abstract

Evolution of software engineering practices consecrates a novel glide over on the progression of software from an elementary form to a more intricate and highly specialized one. As the current software-development process faces conflicting demands and as the productivity remains quite unimpressive, there is a conspicuous need to search, cull down and adopt the best practices in the industry. Practices which have been indelibly commingled with its long history and practices, which define business requirements -requirements that act as a conduit between the user needs and capabilities of software technologies. This beckons for an optimized implementation of successive software practices suggested by perspective software models and delineate methods for scrutinizing associated risks. Thus, this paper focuses on software evolution, software engineering practices, the need for improving a software process and measures to do the same.
