"The humane software assessment" - inspirational talk

Dr. Tudor Gîrba

Dieser Vortrag steht als PDF-Dokument zur Verfügung.

Software assessment is an inherently human activity. Great tools are a prerequisite, but eventually it is the human that has to understand and take decisions. Furthermore, out-of-the-box reporting tools are not always useful as they need to be tailored to the specifics of the system, and to the flow of analysis that is desired by the analyst.

I argue for an assessment process that is centered around humans rather than around tools. The talk accompanied by examples derived from building and using the Moose platform.
