 Geting Out of the Softwae Mud Pit
 Software Development Magazine V8n12(Dec 2000)pp41-44
 =HOWTO =HISTORY REFACTOR MAINTENANCE  TECHNICAL QUALITY
 Big balls of mud are messy but systematic refactoring can help.
 refactor::=apply behavior-preserving transformations that improve code quality.
 Refers to William Opdyke's 1992 Doctoral thesis "Refactoring Object-oriented Frameworks" U of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
 Example: Fixing Feature Envy. A pice of code in method in class A refers to several class B methods only.  Therefore Replace-Code-Segment-With-Function-Call AKA Extract Method(110) an then Move-Member-Function AKA Move Method(142)

 =SURVEY LITE METHODS
 p34: sidebar -- resources -- Crystal, Oen source, AD, Scrum, FDD( Feature Driven Develoment).
 New methods tend to be adaptive and people-oriented, and minimize the production of untested artefacts.
 Iterative development handles changing and unknown requirements.
 New methods may not apply tolarger teams.

 Some Comments on the Coding of Programs
 IEEE Computer Magazine V33n11(Nov 2000)pp128+126+127
 =IDEA TECHNICAL CODE STYLE abbreviation punctuation layout
 Code is not literature, even if comments should be!
 Can systematically abbreviate later uses of identifiers.
 Can line up parentheses and punctuation vertically. See  p127 fig 5,

 Avooding the Software Model-Clash Spiderweb
 IEEE Computer Magazine V33n11(Nov 2000)pp120-122
 =IDEA SUCCESS MODELS PQRST Mbase stakeholders MasterNet
 Stakeholder := user | acquirer | developer | maintainer | ... | public.
 Each stakeholder has a different model of what is needed.
  Each model is a set of assumptions.
  Classified as process, product, property, and success.
 `Could use  purpose, qualities, techniques, team,  etc .`
 Clashes can occur between and wiithin different stakeholder models.
 Has been used two diagnose problems quickly in large and small projects.
 interesting spider-web diagram on p121.

 Investigating Reading Techniques for Object-Oriented Framework
 IEEE Trans Software Engineering  V26n11(Nov 2000)pp1101-1118
 =EXPERIMENT TECHNICAL OBJECT-ORIENTED CODE READING C++ ET++ GRAPHICS OMT PATTERNS
 Using a framework is closer to maintenance than developing a new prgrm from scratch.
 white-box frameworks := programmer supplies specifics by deriving from abstract classes and overriding methods.
 43 students ( ugrad + grad), 15 teams, 2 kinds of training, observe how 1 semester assignments (draw OMT diagrams ) was done.
  training := HB | EB,
 HB:=hierarchy based, EB := example based.
 observed := 5 EB + 5 EB/HB + 4 adhoc EB   + 1 EB/scratch.
 EB better for beginners on a tight schedule but can limit the solutions.
 Maintaining an object model was important but caused problems when it didn't fit the framework.
