Question 1: Using The Mythical Man Month reading found on the course homepage, read the project problems mentioned in the text. List the difficulties and errors that occurred in these failed programming projects.
In the Mythical Man reading the difficulties and errors that occurred include;
Time complexity
As input increases, Output decreases
Communication Barriers
High cost
According to Wikipedia..... "Complex programming projects cannot be perfectly partitioned into discrete tasks that can be worked on without communication between the workers and without establishing a set of complex interrelationships between tasks and the workers performing them.
Therefore, assigning more programmers to a project running behind schedule will make …show more content…
As the system is connected to the internet its exposed to many threats (Security).( Lukas Johansson & Mikael Auno(2006))
2) When using a scalpel it’s essential that the scalpel does not hurt the patient or the surgeon (Safety). It’s also important that the scalpel follows the instructions of the surgeon precisely (Reliability). (Lukas Johansson & Mikael Auno(2006))
3) When launching satellites it is crucial that all calculations are performed correctly (Reliability), and that the system is ready to perform its purpose without fault when needed (Reliability).( Lukas Johansson & Mikael Auno(2006))
4) No unauthorized user may tamper with any of the data accessible in the system (Security). No errors may occur (Reliability). The system should be available as much as possible (Availability) but not at the expense of security and reliability. (Lukas Johansson & Mikael Auno(2006))
