 I urge you to mail your answers. Thanks.)


I am about to do a survey or inventory of methods for software development.
With methods, I mean documented procedures and conceptual models for
either the entire development process or some parts thereof.

Anything worth being called a method in this sense is of interest.
Obviously, a complete inventory would be very large, but I hope
to be able to compile information about at least a large share of
the more widespread methods.

I wish to get as much information as possible about each method,
but the following will do fine:

                                                (for instance)

Name:                                           Coad/Yordon OOA and OOD
Key characteristics:                            Object oriented
Parts of development process concerned:         Analysis, design
Software tools supporting the method:           ...etc.
Result/output from method:
References:
- Documentation (title, author, etc):
- Organizations (commercial or other):


Please, if you have any references to a particular method, or if you
know of similar work elsewhere, mail me a reply. If there is enough
interest, I'll gladly post a summary. Your help is appreciated.
