This paper proposes a new vision for the measurement andmanagement of development productivity related to computer aidedsoftware engineering (CASE) technology. We propose thatproductivity be monitored and controlled in each phase ofsoftware development life cycle, a measurement approach we...

Measurement of software development productivity is needed in order to control software costs, but it isdiscouragingly labor-intensive and expensive. Computer aided software engineering (CASE) technologies --especially repository-based, integrated CASE -- have the potential to support the...

Growing competition in the investment bankingindustry has given rise to increasing demand forhigh functionality software applications that canbe developed in a short period of time. Yet deliveringsuch applications creates a bottleneck insoftware development activities. This dilemmacan be...

This paper reports on a multi-year field study conducted at the FirstBoston Corporation to investigate the performance of its object andrepository-based integrated computer aided software engineering (I-CASE)tool called High Productivity Systems (HPS). We present productivity andsoftware reuse...
