Welcome!

Portella, Leticia

Pages: 3 –8

The Birth of a Software Project

Portella, Leticia

You Are Surrounded by This World!

Portella, Leticia

Pages: 31 –49

[Right now, we have a clear idea of our potential users’ needs. You understand their pain points, and we have a good idea of how we might solve them. The next step is being able to translate these ideas (and requirements) into a software system. And to do that, we need to first take a step back...

The Big Questions While Starting a Project

Portella, Leticia

How Do We Build Software?

Portella, Leticia

Pages: 141 –157

Building Today Thinking of Tomorrow

Portella, Leticia

Pages: 161 –179

Guaranteeing Software Quality

Portella, Leticia

Pages: 181 –194

[In the previous chapter, we discussed several topics that can impact the quality of the code and overall productivity of developers writing it. Although all of them are fundamental, there’s still a big piece missing: checking that the code does what’s intended. At the end of the day, the user...
