Abstract
Microprocessor software is no longer microsized. It requires the same methodology used for developing software for large mainframes. An example of a large microprocessor software project is the 10A Remote Switching System (RSS) which is an extension of an electronic switching system that is controlled by a pair of MAC-8 microprocessors. The software development for this project followed a methodology which required requirement and design information to be generated in machine readable form before coding began. More than 90 percent of the software for the system was written in a high level (C) language. Much productivity was gained being able to use an integrated set of software tools on a PWB/UNIX operating system.Keywords
