9.1 Introduction
An article of the online encyclopedia Wikipedia, summarizes critics’ comments about software development as follows: “In traditional engineering, there is a clear consensus about how things should be built, how they should respect engineering standards and what risks must be taken into account. If an engineer does not comply with his code of practices and something breaks down, he can be sued. There is no such consensus yet, in software engineering, where everyone is promoting his own methods and tools, claiming their advantages in productivity, which, in general are not supported by any objective and scientific evidence whatsoever.”
