I have been a member of the IEEE since 1971 and have developed/tested software since 1969, so I have read dozens of Barry Boehm's articles in the various journals. This were, without exception, all of value, and many quite eye opening, as our professional struggled to advance both the technology and the discipline of software development.
By the mid-80s, Barry's name was so well known to me from my reading that I would immediately read anything with his name attached. In about 1985 I attended a reception held by TRW in a large new building to the south of their main campus in Redondo Beach - invited by someone who told me that Barry "BEEEM" - the manager of some kind of software project - was interested in talking with me. I'd never seen Barry at a IEEE function nor heard his name stated verbally. But I attended the function - a typical function the excessive style of the mid-80s, expensive foods, etc. Then I was led to a small conference room and met "BEEEM." We had an interesting chat but nothing extraordinary. When I left, one of his aides gave me his card... it was then I realized who I had been talking with!
We could have discussed in detail and overview, any number of his papers, but I didn't know what his name sounded like or what he looked like.
This collection has to be termed definitive and certainly comprises a wonderful record of the development and advances of the software engineering community.

Dr. Barry Boehm has provided a great deal to the software engineering community. From estimation to economics and many additional topics, his works need understanding by every software engineer. When I read other literature on software engineering, I seem to typically find references to Dr. Boehm. He has influenced many in this field.

Barry Boehm is a renowned professor. He is well known for creating Spiral Model. He possesses comprehensive knowledge in Software Engineering field. However!! Despite his fame and knowledge, I don't recommend his books. Unless you are going to do research in Software Engineering, you wouldn't need them. I had to buy two of his books because those are the textbooks for Software Engineering and Economics class in USC. They made the homeworks and exams questions impossible to answer unless I bought the books. Whenever I ask questions to TAs, they always say "It's in the textbook". So am I just venting here? no.. I actually read less than 10 pages throughout the course. That is all I needed for the class and I didn't find anything worth reading after the class is over. I read the two comments below praising this book and they are wrong!!
