Synopsis:
At the time Part I of this work was being published, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's Deep Space Network (DSN) was In the process of developing and writing a set of Software Standard Practices, for which Part I was cited as the "methodology textbook" The standards were developed over several years by a group we simply called the "Software Seminar."
It was created and chaired In its "pathfinder period" by Walter K. Victor, who was, by the way, the significant Inspiration of Part I Marion F. Easterling then led that symposium (second Webster [43] meaning) through its next "pilot" phase. Edward C. Posner steered It through the arduous, major, final phase involving detailed standards development, consensus building, writing, review, and publication; he also sponsored the final symposium (first Webster [48] meaning) immediately after the standards were signed off by upper management, Daniel C. Preska administered the writing of the standards, with editorial assistance by Richard C. Chandlee.
The test-bed for the methodology reported in Part I had been an effort of medium magnitude--a program (the MBASIC language processor) containing about 25,000 lines of non-real-time assembly language code. The results of that methodology test-bed seemed to indicate that programmer performance better than had been encountered in past DSN projects could be extended to the DSN as a whole-an organization involving perhaps 100 programmers in various disciplines.
With that belief, the implementation team manager of a critical hardware/software project-to completely upgrade the digital data systems in all of the deep-space stations around the world-undertook the additional task of applying and evaluating the then-emerging DSN Software Standard Practices as a standards-test-bed activity.
The overall project, including software for system performance tests, generated approximately 100,000 lines of hard-real-time assembly language code over about 2-1/2 years.
That project could ill-afford to be a mere guinea pig for a software standards seminar; because the delivery of the first-phase system was crucially tied to upcoming spacecraft launch dates
