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...

This paper proposes a new vision for the measurement andmanagement of development productivity related to computer aidedsoftware engineering (CASE) technology. We propose that they bemonitored and controlled via the application of dynamic softwaredevelopment quot;life cycle trajectory...

Output measurement metrics for the softwaredevelopment process need to be re-examined todetermine their performance in the new, radicallychanged CASE development environment. This papercritiques and empirically evaluates several approachesto the measurement of outputs from the CASE process.The...

Existing output measurement metrics for cost estimation and development productivityneed to be re-examined to determine their performance in computer aided softwareengineering (CASE) development environments. This paper critiques and empiricallyevaluates four approaches to the measurement of...
