+00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,220
+After recapping the three major issues that characterize a software crisis
+
+2
+00:00:03,220 --> 00:00:05,626
+let's see what was the evidence that there was indeed a
+
+3
+00:00:05,626 --> 00:00:07,900
+crisis. So what I want to discuss now is the result
+
+4
+00:00:07,900 --> 00:00:11,060
+of a study performed by Davis in 1990s. So in even
+
+5
+00:00:11,060 --> 00:00:13,670
+more recent times than the 60s and the 70s. And the
+
+6
+00:00:13,670 --> 00:00:17,280
+study was performed on nine software projects that were totaling a
+
+7
+00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,990
+cost around $7 million and I'm going to show you how this
+
+8
+00:00:20,990 --> 00:00:25,190
+projects went using this representation, this pi representation, in which I'm
+
+9
+00:00:25,190 --> 00:00:27,520
+going to discuss what each of the segment of the
+
+10
+00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,010
+pi represent. So let's start looking at the first one.
+
+11
+00:00:30,010 --> 00:00:32,920
+This is a software that was usable as delivered. Other
+
+12
+00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,590
+software was delivered, and usable, either after some changes or
+
+13
+00:00:36,590 --> 00:00:41,080
+after some major modifications, so within additional costs involved.
+
+14
+00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,530
+But the striking piece of information here is that the
+
+15
+00:00:43,530 --> 00:00:46,890
+vast majority of the software, so these two slices, were
+
+16
+00:00:46,890 --> 00:00:50,250
+software that was either delivered but never successfully used or
+
+17
+00:00:50,250 --> 00:00:53,730
+software that was not even delivered. And this corresponded
+
+18
+00:00:53,730 --> 00:00:57,500
+to five over the seven total million dollars for
+
+19
+00:00:57,500 --> 00:01:00,050
+all the projects. So clearly, this shows a pretty
+
+20
+00:01:00,050 --> 00:01:03,910
+grim picture for software development and its success. In short,
+
+21
+00:01:03,910 --> 00:01:06,410
+there was clear evidence the software was becoming to
+
+22
+00:01:06,410 --> 00:01:08,990
+difficult too build and that the software industry was facing
+
+23
+00:01:08,990 --> 00:01:11,190
+a crisis. And this is what led to the
+
+24
+00:01:11,190 --> 00:01:15,130
+NATO Software Engineering Conference that was held in January 1969,
+
+25
+00:01:15,130 --> 00:01:19,100
+which is what we can consider the birth of software engineering. And what
+
+26
+00:01:19,100 --> 00:01:23,080
+I'm showing here is a drawing of the proceedings for that conference. And if
+
+27
+00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,020
+you look at the class notes you can see a link to the actual
+
+28
+00:01:26,020 --> 00:01:27,640
+proceedings, in case you are interested in
+
+29
+00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,180
+looking at the issues that were discussed.
