Sofware Crisis

            The Software Crisis and Object Oriented Techniques.
             What is the software crisis? This question is frequently asked and pondered upon by many. Researchers are constantly trying to find a solution to this crisis, and many are looking to object oriented techniques for answers.
             The software crisis is characterized as an ability to develop software on time, within requirements, and on budget. Currently, software for personal computers represents only 10 percent of the $90 billion software industry.

It is ironic that teams of highly skilled problem solvers are being put together to compile something that already is a problem in itself. Another factor contributing to the software crisis is budget and scheduling of development.
