Description:

In this webcast presentation, Max Kanat-Alexander will go over a method of analyzing software that breaks down all designs into four components: Input, Structure, Action, and Results. This pattern exists in all software, from million-line applications down to a single line of code. We will discuss what makes this system of analysis useful and how we can apply it to actually make practical improvements in our software designs today.
