Is this a desirable way of developing software ?
New computer is supposedly chosen on its ability to rapidly replace existing computer
But the necessity for good a good software devlopment environment infrastructure with the new system is forgotten.
The new system is made to go live without there being an audit trail of all changes to operational software, or a mechanism to ensure this.
Bathtub curve problems are noticeable.
Least able individual has already seized, or eventually seizes, control of organisation
Wow, you must have been on my project. No, it is a terrible way of doing business, unless you are going after the maintenance contract as well.
My team has recently replaced SPARC with AMDx86. The System Engineers thought it was great getting new cheap hardware and lumped all of the work on the Software team (Endian issues!!)
The best you can do is to do your best and let the idiot that is groping for the lead to hang himself.
Also, for the audit trail, you should be talking with your organizations QA right away!

Building Secure Software
$47.48 This book is useful, practical, understandable, and comprehensive. The fact that you have this book in your hands is a step in the right direction. Read it, learn from it. And then put its lessons into practice. --From the Foreword by Bruce Schneier, CTO, Counterpane, and author of Secrets and Lies A must-read for anyone writing software for the Internet. --Jeremy Epstein, Director, Product Security and Performance, webMethods This book tackles complex application security problems like buffer overflows, race conditions, and applied cryptography in a manner that is straightforward and easy to understand. This is a must for any application developer or security professional. --Paul Raines, Global Head of Information Risk Management, Barclays Capital Most organizations have a firewall, antivirus software, and intrusion detection systems, all of which are intended to keep attackers out. So why is computer security a bigger problem today than ever before? The answer is simple--bad software lies at the heart of all computer security problems. Traditional solutions simply treat the symptoms, not the problem, and usually do so in a reactive way. This book teaches you how to take a proactive approach to computer security. Building Secure Software cuts to the heart of computer security to help you get security right the first time. If you are serious about computer security, you need to read this book, which includes essential lessons for both security professionals who have come to realize that software is the problem, and software developers who intend to make their code behave. Written for anyone involved in software development and use--from managers to coders--thisbook is your first step toward building more secure software. Building Secure Software provides expert perspectives and techniques to help you ensure the security of essential software. If you consider threats and vulnerabilities early in the devel-opment cycle you can build security into your system. With this book you will learn how to determine an acceptable level of risk, develop security tests, and plug security holes before software is even shipped. Inside you'll find the ten guiding principles for software security, as well as detailed coverage of: Software risk management for security Selecting technologies to make your code more secure Security implications of open source and proprietary software How to audit software The dreaded buffer overflow Access control and password authentication Random number generation Applying cryptography Trust management and input Client-side security Dealing with firewalls Only by building secure software can you defend yourself against security breaches and gain the confidence that comes with knowing you won't have to play the penetrate and patch game anymore. Get it right the first time. Let these expert authors show you how to properly design your system; save time, mo |

International Trade in Computer Software
$105.27 The U.S. computer software industry dominates the globe. But why has this critical industry succeeded so dramatically in world competition when so many other strategic technologies have fallen to foreign suppliers? In a detailed and well-reasoned economic analysis, Siwek and Furchtgott-Roth present the first truly comprehensive examination of international trade in computer software. The authors identify software as one of the fastest-growing industries in the United States as measured by value-added to gross domestic product, employment, and foreign sales. They document the historical importance of U.S.-produced software in both American and foreign markets and they present country-by-country assessments of software markets around the world. Siwek and Furchtgott-Roth identify the principal areas of advantage held by the U.S. software industry and they go on to assess the future prospects of U.S. software in world markets. |
