Software productivity and its management
نویسنده
چکیده
Software productivity is one of the most important attributes of the software development process. Our current knowledge of software productivity is not sufficient to define it properly, let alone measure it accurately. Indeed, for lack of something better, the industry has used some version or other of lines of code per man-month as the measure of productivity. To my mind, this measures programmer productivity, not software productivity. In this paper, I discuss several possible definitions of software productivity from different viewpoints. I also discuss an important issue on the subject, the management of software productivity.
