In "The Changing Nature of Software Evolution," Barry Boehm discusses how a one-size-fits-all approach no longer works and how different types of software now require different types of approaches. In "The Inevitability of Evolution," Kent Beck describes how developers must factor in cost, time, and risk when considering changes to their software.
