Software Acquisition Improvement in the Aeronautical Systems Center (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781288305919)

In the past 20 years, over 150 recommendations have been made to improve software systems development by organizations such as the Defense Science Board, National Research Council and the U.S. General Accountability Office. It has been discovered that many of these recommendation have remained unimplemented. The research had the purpose of confirming the application of these previous recommendations to improve software acquisition in the Aeronautical Systems Center. This was accomplished through interviews with 20 software practitioners in the acquisition community and the review of relevant literature. Through the analysis of the itnerviews and literature, this research was able to confirm that many of the recommendations have been applied in programs through out the Aeronautical Systems Center.
