When was Horizon Software created?
Horizon Software was created in 1998.
How do you solve software crisis?
Security vulnerabilities can create a crisis for software. To solve this, developers must release a software patch which will fix the issue.
What has the author FRANCIS GEOFFREY CASTLES written?
FRANCIS GEOFFREY CASTLES has written: 'FUTURE OF THE WELFARE STATE: CRISIS MYTHS AND CRISIS REALITIES'
Solution for software crisis?
reduce software faikure rate and increase productivity
What is a metaphor for crisis?
A metaphor for crisis could be a storm brewing on the horizon, symbolizing impending turmoil and uncertainty.
What is computer software crisis?
The term Software Crisis was used to describe the impact of rapid increases in computer power and the complexity of the problems that could be tackled. In essence, it refers to the difficulty of writing correct, understandable, and verifiable computer programs. The roots of the software crisis are complexity, expectations, and change.
What is softwar crisis?

What is softwear myth?
Software myths are things many people believe or assume about software that just aren't true. One myth is, because software is malleable, changes are easy to accommodate.
What are the solutions to software crisis?
There are many factors that have contributed to the making of the present software crisis. Factors are larger problem sizes, lack of adequate training in software engineering, increasing skill shortage, and low productivity improvements. It is believed that the only satisfactory solution to the present software crisis can possibly come from a spread of software engineering practices among the engineers, coupled with further advancements to the software engineering discipline itself. Software engineering appears to be among the few options available to tackle the present software crisis. To explain the present software crisis in simple words, consider the following. The expenses that organizations all around the world are incurring on software purchases compared to those on hardware purchases have been showing a worrying trend over the years Organizations are spending larger and larger portions of their budget on software. Not only are the software products turning out to be more expensive than hardware, but they also present a host of other problems to the customers: software products are difficult to alter, debug, and enhance; use resources non-optimally; often fail to meet the user requirements; are far from being reliable; frequently crash; and are often delivered late. Among these, the trend of increasing software costs is probably the most important symptom of the present software crisis. Remember that the cost we are talking of here is not on account of increased features, but due to ineffective development of the product characterized by inefficient resource usage, and time and cost over-runs.

How do software myths affect a software process?
Software myths are common beliefs that are propogated as truths, may seem to be plausible, but are false. Believing in software myths at best leads to low productivity and poor software quality and at worst leads to failed projects.Here are just a few myths in the software world:The sooner developers start coding the sooner the software will be builtDevelopment problems can be solved by using state-of-the art tools.Late projects can be solved by adding more peopleChange is easily accommodated, since software is malleable.A general statement of need is sufficient to start codingYou can't assess software quality until the program is running.Lines of code (LOC) is a useful measure of software productivityThere are many more myths out there, but the common thread is that these myths are believed because people do not get hard evidence on what works in software development and what doesn't. People confuse their personal biases and beliefs with facts.If you want facts about what works and what doesn't in software development then you want to get books like: The Economics of Software Quality by Capers Jones (link below), which document hard evidence after considering 10,000+ projects.Other quality authors are Tom Demarco and Edward Yourdon.
What is the aim of software engineering..what does the discipline of software engineering discuss?
to solve the software crisis where software is delivered late, with faults, and over budget. Software engineering aims to deliver fault free software, on time and within budget, meeting the requirements and needs of the client. The software is developed keeping in mind the future maintenance that is involved.
Which is correct an horizon or a horizon?
a horizon
