Las causas de las deficiencias de la Ingeniería de Software

Abstract

Since Software Engineering was born, a question has been established that still nowadays happens to have no final answer: "is it possible the application of common traditional engineering practices to development of software products?". With this premise, Software Engineering had to resolve the "Software Crisis" that is still valid, nevertheless. The question can be reformulated as: "is it possible to avoid deficiencies in projects applying such practices?". The authors identify and develop the three factors that appear to prevent it: i) common traditional engineering practices are not applied, because investigation does not provide necessary proposals or because software industry does not use them; ii) Software Engineering does not cover the whole industry checking that technical systems remain largely oblivious to this new engineering; and last, iii) an unresolved semantic gap between the functional model in the analysis phase, and the object model required for the design phase affecting the quality of development processes. Since society is subject, as increasingly, to the quality of goods and computer services that are offered, no doubt the exposed problem represents and enormous ethical and social responsibility. That´s why this article suggests thinking on the contribution that is expected from Software engineering to overcome the well known Software Crisis.

“…Conceptualmente, la ingeniería es una disciplina esencialmente objetiva, que se apoya en leyes naturales, resultados experimentales y fórmulas empíricas para proponer y respaldar soluciones ante los problemas presentados. Para ello, se inspira en enfoques que se podrían considerar versiones tecnológicas del método científico, en el que las evidencias ocupan claramente un lugar central [20].…”
