Hi! I am a member of a working group that is trying to develop a guidebook for assisting software engineers in selecting the appropiate software engineering paradigm for support of software maintenance or software development. Our company wants to be able to provide engineers with a explanatory book that will guide them in this selection process. In other words given some certain criteria should a Spiral approach or Object Oriented Approach be taken? Has anybody out there ever developed such a guidebook? or one close to it? Are there any good books or papers that might assist us in this project? For anyone who responds Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Happy Computing! Ernie Svehla

Surely you can develop software in an object oriented way, but still take a spiral approach for the whole project. I have always assumed that the spiral approach was a complete software lifecycle method, with the development of software within that lifecycle being object oriented if so desired.
