FREE Download: Real-Time vs Business Application and Component Software Projects - ISBSG Special Analysis Report

A free, abridged version of ISBSG's new 45 page analysis report "Real-Time vs Business Application and Component Software Projects - A Special Analysis using COSMIC and IFPUG Sized Software Project Data Sets (2009)" is now available for download.

The full report compares projects from the domains of real-time applications; software components; and business application software, for both new developments and enhancements. The project data has been analysed to produce benchmarks suitable for performance comparisons and for project estimating.

The analysis results underline the importance of treating these three types of applications differently when estimating and benchmarking.  Project delivery rates and duration times are provided along with useful charts of the correlations of effort, productivity and duration to software size. The productivity rates of different programming languages are compared, as is the impact of software size on productivity.

The abridged version of the report contains all graphs and tables along with a sample of the measurement results.
