Software is one of the most important products in human history and
is widely used by all industries and all countries. It is also one
of the most expensive and labor-intensive products in human
history. Software also has very poor quality that has caused many
major disasters and wasted many millions of dollars. Software is
also the target of frequent and increasingly serious cyber-attacks.
Among the reasons for these software problems is a chronic lack of
reliable quantified data. This reference provides quantified data
from many countries and many industries based on about 26,000
projects developed using a variety of methodologies and team
experience levels. The data has been gathered between 1970 and
2017, so interesting historical trends are available. Since current
average software productivity and quality results are suboptimal,
this book focuses on "best in class" results and shows not only
quantified quality and productivity data from best-in-class
organizations, but also the technology stacks used to achieve
best-in-class results. The overall goal of this book is to
encourage the adoption of best-in-class software metrics and
best-in-class technology stacks. It does so by providing current
data on average software schedules, effort, costs, and quality for
several industries and countries. Because productivity and quality
vary by technology and size, the book presents quantitative results
for applications between 100 function points and 100,000 function
points. It shows quality results using defect potential and DRE
metrics because the number one cost driver for software is finding
and fixing bugs. The book presents data on cost of quality for
software projects and discusses technical debt, but that metric is
not standardized. Finally, the book includes some data on three
years of software maintenance and enhancements as well as some data
on total cost of ownership.
