Many of the developed hardware and software system components have come and gone before they had any longevity allowing return on investments in the technology by the market place. In some instances, the changeover in technology has met or exceeded Moore s Law in the swiftness with which the fleeting technology has appeared only to be replaced. This has created a tremendous obsolescence in software, hardware, and people s skills. The effect on software development has been an endless requirement for additional training and retraining of personnel on the use of new tools and software environments (as shown in Figure1). The long term effect is a dearth in efficiency of people s time, and capital investments and the ability to use time, people, and investments to
