International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 13-15, 1981 / Bahia Hotel, San Diego, CaliforniaAll orderly software development proceeds through the phases of a predictable life cycle. This behavior is characteristic of telemetry software development, also. Each phase of the life cycle is definable in terms of specific milestones. Understanding the life cycle is crucial for accurate estimation of time and effort, as well as for producing reliable software on time and within budget.International Foundation for TelemeteringProceedings from the International Telemetering Conference are made available by the International Foundation for Telemetering and the University of Arizona Libraries.
