Network Working Group A. Dulaunoy
|
||
Internet-Draft A. Iklody
|
||
Intended status: Informational CIRCL
|

Expires: 24 November 2024 23 May 2024

|
||
|
||
Programming Methodology Framework aka PMF
|
||
draft-02
|
||
|
||
Abstract
|
||
|
||
This document describes the Programming Methodology Framework also
|
||
known under the PMF methodology. The methodology is based on the
|
||
manifesto written by Zed A. Shaw [PROGRAMMING-MF-MANIFESTO] which
|
||
describes a natural approach to software engineering with a strong
|
||
focus on the act of programming. The PMF methodology uses a soft
|
||
naming to allow for a non-partisan reference to official engineering
|
||
or project documents describing one of the most used software
|
||
engineering methodologies.
|
||
|
||
Status of This Memo
|
||
|
||
This Internet-Draft is submitted in full conformance with the
|
||
provisions of BCP 78 and BCP 79.
|
||
|
||
Internet-Drafts are working documents of the Internet Engineering
|
||
Task Force (IETF). Note that other groups may also distribute
|
||
working documents as Internet-Drafts. The list of current Internet-
|
||
Drafts is at https://datatracker.ietf.org/drafts/current/.
|
||
|
||
Internet-Drafts are draft documents valid for a maximum of six months
|
||
and may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other documents at any
|
||
time. It is inappropriate to use Internet-Drafts as reference
|
||
material or to cite them other than as "work in progress."

This Internet-Draft will expire on 24 November 2024.

1. Introduction
|
||
|
||
In 2011, Zed A. Shaw published a blog post which describes:
|
||
|
||
{align="left"} I think I'm going to create the ultimate software
|
||
development methodology. It'll be revolutionary compared to others
|
||
because it will focus on the one thing that gets software done. Its
|
||
entire focus will be this one, glorious, completely useful activity
|
||
for writing software. It's name even embodies the perfection of this
|
||
programming methodology.
|
||
|
||
The PMF methodology was published as a manifesto later
|
||
[PROGRAMMING-MF-MANIFESTO]. The manifesto clearly describes the
|
||
focus on programming to avoid the surrounding management overhead and
|
||
pivot towards the delivery of the software. The
|
||
[THE-TAO-OF-PROGRAMMING] describes similar methodologies which
|
||
strongly focus on coding, scripting and programming.
|
||
|
||
The overall concept of PMF methodology follows the following process:
|
||
|
||
* Compose a list of features to be implemented and use an iterative
|
||
programming process.
|
||
* Enhance said features using trial and error programming.
|
||
* Orchestrate your testing and integration processes using pragmatic
|
||
programming.
|
||
|
||
Repeat the above process until the software is delivered.
|
||
|
||
A simplified overview of the process can be described as follow:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|

|
||
|
||
The PMF methodology covers open source software along with
|
||
proprietary software and can be used interchangeably in both.
|
||
|
||
1.1. Management and PMF methodology
|
||
|
||
A simple management process is a requirement of the PMF methodology.
|
||
The management process is meant to be complementary instead of
|
||
interfering with the programming aspect and solely serves to support
|
||
the PMF methodology.
|
||
|
||
* Collect requirements of the users/customers.
|
||
* Provide programmers with the desired requirements.
|
||
* Review whether the software to be delivered matches the
|
||
requirements.
|
||
|
||
1.2. Conventions and Terminology
|
||
|
||
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
|
||
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
|
||
document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].
|
||
|
||
2. Security Considerations
|
||
|
||
Secure and defensive programming can only come by practicing
|
||
programming and this also includes the act of simplifying or removing
|
||
code to reduce the attack surface.
