This book examines large-scale software production from its inception to the present day, beginning with 1960s concerns over "software crises". The author traces the implementation and evolution of factory-like concepts and practices in leading software companies between the 1960s and 1980s, with a particular focus on five major producers: IBM, System Development Corporation, and the Japanese firms Hitachi, Toshiba, and NEC/Fujitsu. The book shows that these organizations faced similar challenges in terms of project management and control, quality assurance, and managing the increasing complexity of software systems. Drawing on historical and research literature, the author provides a comprehensive overview of the field's evolution, its current state, and its future prospects.
