Rules and tools for software evolution planning and management (2001)

Meir M Lehman

Abstract

When first formulated in the early seventies, the laws of software evolution were, for a number of reasons, not widely accepted as relevant to software engineering practice. Over the years, they have gradually become recognised as providing useful inputs to understanding of the software process and have found their place in a number of software engineering curricula. Now eight in number, they have been supplemented by a Software Uncertainty Principle and a FEAST Hypothesis. Based on all these and on the results of the recent FEAST/1 and current FEAST/2 research projects, this
