This book explores the history and evolution of software engineering practices at Japan's NEC Corporation, beginning in the 1950s. The author examines NEC's efforts to implement a "software factory" strategy, aiming to standardize and streamline software development processes for greater efficiency and quality. The book discusses the concept of distributed, product-centered factory systems, tracing their development and implementation at NEC, and highlighting the roles of key individuals and committees in shaping the company's approach. It also analyzes the tools, methodologies, and management systems developed and employed by NEC to support its software factory strategy, including STEPS (Standard Technology and Engineering for Programming Support) for applications software and SEA/l (System Engineering Architecture) for automated program generation. The book concludes by assessing the significance of NEC's software factory approach within the context of software engineering practices and its impact on the company's success as a major player in the global computer industry.
