Cleanroom software development at the TCC

The Cleanroom or Zero-Defect software development methodology is a way of rational software design that results in high-quality, robust programs, yet I've found that it takes no more time than conventional methods.

The Tech Computer Center is offering free, informal training in the method, primarily for TCC staff, but other observers are welcome. We meet Thursdays 3:30--5:00pm in Weir 128.

• The method is best described in Dr. Stavely's book:

  Stavely, Allan M. Toward Zero-Defect Programming. Addison Wesley, 1999, ISBN 0-201-38595-3.

• My Cleanroom pages describe the method as I have practiced it, with many practical examples.
• Lecture notes
• Project specification (PostScript format)
• The code for the application (written in Python).
• Document Type Definition (DTD) for the constitution
• constitution.xml, the XML representation of the constitution.
