Abstract

The software development method that is presented in this book is built upon a number of standard Software Engineering concepts and combines them effectively into a single, coherent model. In this chapter, I will introduce these basic concepts and their relationships by starting with an investigation of a cognitive model of design in general. From this general model, I will derive some basic skills that are essential for a successful software engineer and I will outline some requirements for software engineering tools and methods that follow from these considerations.
