No Silver Bullet: Essence and Accidents of Software Engineering The article was written in 1987. Twenty five years in computer time is virtually equivalent to eternity. Even so‚ the article holds up rather well. Most of the problems Brooks describes with software complexity remain today. Brooks was perhaps a bit overly pessimistic; he considered the state of software engineering at the time to be in crisis. Using Brooks’ analysis‚ modern‚ even more complex software should be at a developmental

The No Silver Bullet: Essence and Accidents Software Engineering (1) is the author of a Ph.D. by Brooks on software engineering‚ its problems (essential and accidental)‚ and solutions to the problems. Brooks mentioned the causes of the software problems and the solutions’ attributes as silver bullets. Although there were many ideal solutions at the time the paper was published‚ he still felt that there would not have a perfect solution to be used in both side’s technology and management for passing
