Real-Time Agility: The Harmony/ESW Method for Real-Time and Embedded Systems Development

The book's title plays up the real time nature of the coding challenge. Yet a reading shows little that is specific to that aspect. Much of the book's advice could also pertain to more common, non-real time and non-embedded applications.For example, the book suggests frequent, incremental deliveries, including in a 'spiral' manner. This is not that different than other suggestions about agile approaches for a web site application.Amusingly perhaps, while the book talks much about agile, it says virtually nothing about Extreme Programming [XP] or its most 'extreme' aspect, pair programming. If you look up the index, those two entries are only mentioned once in the text, and then only as just those terms, without further elaboration. Whereas around 10 years ago, the term agile often was strongly coupled to XP and pair programming, if not outrightly conflated to those two. Yet possibly the experience of the intervening years has led the author to deprecate the links. It's what you don't see in the book that can be as significant as what is presented.

Das ist aus meiner Sicht eines der besten Bücher zum Thema Agile Softwareentwicklung.Es werden alle Aspekte sehr gut beschrieben. Das Thema Architektur und Governance kommt auch nicht zu kurz.

Highlights the true key concepts of system/software development processes.
