Resumen
The article outlines the problem with measuring the magnitude of scalability in a computer software project. Scalability is a fundamental quality of software. It refers to the process where same operations can be used without wear on programs of all sizes and with any volume of data. In software, very few projects remain of constant magnitude, so it is difficult to directly compare the methods and tools over time. Large systems, too complex for individual comprehension, must be subdivided into smaller tasks coordinated between groups. In fact, a large portion of software engineering is devoted to the documentation, notification, and management review needed to coordinate large projects. Piling on the multiple roles required of a large organization on a small group is nonsensical. The difficulty is to decide what roles are important for developing good software and what roles are important for coordinating and managing multiple groups. There are a number of problems with scaling down software engineering methods, that have been discussed in the article.
