Notable quotes

“A development method may be regarded as a path or a procedure by which the developer proceeds from a problem of a certain class to a solution of a certain class. In trivial cases, the method may be fully algorithmic; for example, there is an algorithmic procedure for obtaining the square root of a nonnegative number to any desired degree of accuracy.”
— Michael A. Jackson. "A system development method," in: Tools and notions for program construction: An advanced course, Cambridge University Press, 1982. p. 1
“After forty years of currency the phrase "software engineering" still denotes no more then a vague and largely unfulfilled aspiration.”
— Michael A. Jackson, cited in: Matti Tedre. The Science of Computing: Shaping a Discipline, 2014, p. 135.
