Software Acquisition TechniquesThe paper presents a philosophy for use by program managers in evaluating software tasks and monitoring performance during development, using aerospace software for the Harpoon missile program as an example. It is shown that the software acquisition problem can be minimized by timely identification of software acquisition techniques, the key factors being technical expertise requirements, degree of task definition and software optimization importance. Evaluation of these factors provides the basis for the 'make or buy' decision as well as the formulation of a logical approach for in-house development or subcontract procurement.
