Software Engineering Pioneer: Fred Brooks Remembered

A founder of the Software Engineering discipline, Fred Brooks, passed away 17 November 2022 at the age of 91.

His seminal book, The Mythical Man-Month: Essays on Software Engineering, published in 1975, formed the basis for stabilizing and systematizing the methods and tools of software engineering, including certainly the area of software testing and quality control.
