For me there is no practical value. I don't see anything wrong with that book. It is covering very broad scope and maybe if you would want to know why building software is complex and you don't have any knowledge in the topic that would be a good starting point. Like if you would be an owner of a gym chain and because of current situation you would like to start software company. This could give you an idea why it is not just having "an app idea" and why those pesky developers demand so much money. I like this part in the book: Most people are limited in their ability to hold complex structures and information in their working memories, especially over long peri- ods of time. This proves to be a major factor influencing how people convey intent to com- puters and leads to one of the strongest drives in software construction: minimizing complex- ity. The need to reduce complexity applies to essentially every aspect of software construction and is particularly critical to testing of software constructions.
