Software Crisis
Software Crisis
The term "software crisis" describes the big problems faced by the software industry in the
1960s and 1970s. Back then, the old ways of creating software weren’t working well for
modern needs. Software projects were becoming more complex and harder to manage. This
caused many issues, such as:
• High Costs: Projects cost much more than expected.
• Delays: Many projects were late, sometimes by years.
• Poor Quality: The software often had lots of bugs or didn’t meet the users' needs.
To solve these problems, the industry needed better methods, tools, and processes for creating
software. This led to the development of modern software engineering practices that we use today.
