IEEE Software delivers reliable, useful, leading-edge software development information to keep engineers and managers abreast of rapid technology change. Its mission is to build the community of leading software practitioners. The authority on translating software theory into practice, this magazine positions itself between pure research and pure practice, transferring ideas, methods, and experiences among researchers and engineers. Peerreviewed articles and columns by seasoned practitioners illuminate all aspects of the industry, including process improvement, project management, development tools, software maintenance, Web applications and opportunities, testing, and usability. The magazine's readers specify, design, document, test, maintain, purchase, engineer, sell, teach, research, and manage the production of software or systems that include software. IEEE Software welcomes articles describing how software is developed in specific companies, laboratories, and university environments as well as articles describing new tools, current trends, and past projects' limitations and failures as well as successes. Sample topics include geographically distributed development; software architectures; program and system debugging and testing; the education of software professionals; requirements, design, development, testing, and management methodologies; performance measurement and evaluation; standards; program and system reliability, security, and verification; programming environments; languages and language-related issues; Web-based development; usability; and software-related social and legal issues.

IEEE軟件提供可靠、有用、前沿的軟件開發(fā)信息，以使工程師和管理人員及時了解快速的技術變化。它的使命是建立領先的軟件從業(yè)者社區(qū)。本雜志是將軟件理論轉化為實踐的權威，它把自己定位在純研究和純實踐之間，在研究人員和工程師之間傳遞思想、方法和經(jīng)驗。經(jīng)驗豐富的從業(yè)者撰寫的同行評審的文章和專欄闡述了行業(yè)的各個方面，包括流程改進、項目管理、開發(fā)工具、軟件維護、Web應用程序和機會、測試和可用性。該雜志的讀者指定、設計、記錄、測試、維護、購買、設計、銷售、教學、研究和管理包括軟件在內的軟件或系統(tǒng)的生產(chǎn)。IEEE軟件歡迎描述軟件如何在特定公司、實驗室和大學環(huán)境中開發(fā)的文章，以及描述新工具、當前趨勢、過去項目的局限性和失敗以及成功的文章。示例主題包括地理上分布的開發(fā)；軟件架構；程序和系統(tǒng)調試和測試；軟件專業(yè)人員的教育；需求、設計、開發(fā)、測試和管理方法；性能度量和評估；標準；程序和系統(tǒng)可靠性、安全性和驗證離子；編程環(huán)境；語言和語言相關問題；基于Web的開發(fā)；可用性；以及與軟件相關的社會和法律問題。
