Beschreibung

Print on Demand. This fascinating book examines the relationship between software complexity and developer experience. It analyzes the impact of software complexity on productivity and maintenance, revealing that more complex systems require more effort, especially in the maintenance phase of the software development lifecycle. Additionally, it explores how developer experience influences productivity, finding a positive correlation between experience and productivity in terms of lines of code produced per work-hour, though it also cautions that this advantage decreases with rising experience. The author suggests strategies for managing software complexity, including the adoption of experience-based hiring for developers, and the implementation of quality control standards for code complexity. Offering a unique perspective on software development, this book provides valuable insights that can help organizations enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of their software development processes. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

Excerpt from Productivity Impacts of Software Complexity and Developer Experience

The high costs of developing and maintaining software have become widely recognized as major obstacles to the continued successful use of information technology. For example, Barry Boehm has estimated that $140 billion is spent annually worldwide on software [boehm, Therefore, even a small increase in productivity would have significant cost reduction effects. However, despite the practical importance of software productivity, there is only a limited amount of research in measuring software development productivity and in understanding the effect of software complexity on variations in productivity.
