You are on the right track. My experience confirms all your statements. If these are the opinions of students, there is hope for the software world. Feel free to send me e-mail if you wish to further discuss these issues. By the way, don't be swayed by the advocates of "integrated CASE tools" and "software metrics"-- these people are not software developers. I expect you'll get the inevitable DeMento :-) line of "We can't control what we can't measure." Here's a good reply to that: "We can't control or meaningfully measure what we don't understand." -- Jorge A. Gautier| "The enemy is at the gate.
