How shall we improve the quality and reliability of the software we produce? We believe that the critical factor is an understanding how software is constructed, and why it is constructed in that way. Once something is understood, we can begin to build better tools to support and mold the process. This paper outlines a view of how the software process proceeds, why it proceeds that way, and how we can use this perspective to build better tools.
