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...

Measurement of software development productivity is needed in orderto control software costs, but it is discouragingly labor-intensiveand expensive. Computer aided software engineering (CASE)technologies -- especially object-oriented, integrated CASE --have the potential to support the...

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...

An examination of code reuse at a large financial institution yields insightsinto the process of code reuse. The software development environment -- basedon an integrated CASE system -- was designed to support code reuse, but at theend of its first two years we find that programmers are not...

The paper illustrates quot;business value linkage impact analysisquot;, a new method for measuring the business value of information technology (IT), in the context of a case study of electronic banking operations at Meridian Bancorp, a large commercial bank. Management science models were...

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...
