How are productivity and quality related?

How does software measurement affect software quality and productivity?

It depends on whether you are measuring things that are related to quality or not.Figuring out what to measure can be very hard, but when you measure the correct things:Measuring defect removal efficiency; productivity +20%, quality +30%Measurement of bad fix injections; productivity +19%, quality +28%Formal measurement programs; productivity +20%, quality +30%Measurement of requirements changes; productivity +16%, quality +22%EtcNot measuring quality can lead to productivity falling 14% and quality by 19%.If you measure the wrong things quality will NOT improve, i.e. there are organizations that focus on measuring:lines of codehours the developers put inThese are things that are easy to measure but have nothing to do with quality, it does not prevent many organizations from confusing measurement with quality improvement.

What is the relationship between productivity and quality?

Raw material is an input which can be transformed into a product (output). By the formula of Productivity, high quality of input (use small amount, less defect or reject) may lead to have high output and result on high productivity.

What are the effects of software measurement on software quality and productivity?

This depends on what kind of software measurement you are talking about. You can use common metrics that have no correlation to software quality and productivity as follows:Measure productivity by the number of hours that developers put inMeasure quality by the number of defects per thousand lines of code (KLOC)In fact, Capers Jones feels that the use of lines of code (LOC) for any metrics should be considered professional malpractice! The above are bad measures and will not lead to much improvement of software quality or productivity.Instead, if you institute measurement that has been proven to be a best-practice then you can get a baseline for your software quality and productivity and then implement improvement processes for both.Examples of proven metrics to improve quality and productivity are:Using function points to measure requirement sizeCalculating quality by defects per function pointUsing cyclomatic complexity to calculate function complexity (productivity +14.5%, quality +19.5%)1Measuring defect removal efficiency (productivity +20.4%, quality +30.4%)1Measurement of bad fix injections (productivity +18.5%, quality +27.5%)1Measurement of requirements changes (productivity +15.7%, quality +21.9%)1You can show that inadequate measurements of quality will reduce productivity by 13.5% and quality by 18.5%11 All numbers above are courtesy of Capers Jones and have been generated by analyzing over 10,000+ projects over 40 years.
