  8. Brooks, Frederick P., Jr., No Silver Bullet: Essence and Accidents of Software Engineering, Computer 20, 4 [April 1987] 10-19. The author, the project manager for IBM's first operating system for its current line of 370 based computers, comments on the essence of software design as an intractable intellectual task. The article evaluates software design technologies in speeding up the intellectual task and concludes none offer order of magnitude improvements.

Article projects a 70% increase in jobs for computer programmers in the years 1986-2000 and says that shortfalls could develop as the number of college age Americans drops 18% by 1995, since "the percentage of students who enter these fields has remained steady for years".

The paper evaluates four of the most popular software cost estimation models against 15 large completed business data processing projects. "As models of the software-development process, all of the models tested failed to sufficiently reflect the underlying factors affecting productivity".
