Excerpt from Distributed Processing at Champion International: A Case Study of Software Productivity The Center for Information Systems Research (CISR) is undertaking a major research program in this area. One of the proposed outcomes of such research is a thorough definition of software productivity. However, it is necessary to create a working definition in order to carry out the research. Productivity in an economic sense, is a measure of useful product output per unit of resource input. In the software productivity area the outputs are applications software systems to support business functions. The inputs of chief concern are professional labor. Productivity can be increased in two ways: either by reducing the labor required to develop an application system, or by improving quality control- reducing the scrappage rate for systems produced. The quality control aspect is of overriding significance but often ignored in discussions of software productivity. One track of software productivity research at CISR will address these major issues: l) What are the best ways of measuring productivity, and 2) what factors influence the quality of the productivity? Organizations have used various measures in the past that they have felt reflected improved productivity, for example, lines of code produced in a fixed period of time, reduction of the number of bugs or the time to debug, reduction of the overall time to produce a finished product, or ability to re-use the product in many areas of the company (common systems). All of these are relevant measures, but no one is convinced that he or she is using the "right" measure. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
