Analysis of Maintenance and Support Productivity
The short paper analyses the effort spent on general and specific software maintenance and support activities.
Efficiency of work output.
The short paper analyses the effort spent on general and specific software maintenance and support activities.
This short paper compares the productivity of projects that have different application types, from the ISBSG Repository. The application types are: Business Applications, Real-Time Applications, Mathematically-Intensive Application and Infrastructure Software.
‘Cost per Function Point’ is an industry best practice to ensure that both the customer and the supplier benefit from high productivity. This short paper analyzes the cost and functional size of projects from the ISBSG Repository.
We examine number of COBOL Projects submitted to the ISBSG Repository, since the year 2000. The median Project Delivery Rates are compared to determine whether there has been an in increase in productivity for COBOL projects.
Making accurate project estimations can be challenging. Being able to precisely determine project duration, effort and delivery rate are essential for the success of your IT project. The ISBSG Productivity Data Query (PDQ) Tool lets you benchmark your project estimates against similar projects from the IT industry in minutes. This short paper uses a simple example to demonstrate this.
“Low Code/No Code” is a new development paradigm. It shortens re-development times (and costs) when an organization decides to move software system/application from old, legacy architecture to a newer, more maintainable one.
Calculate key ‘market average’ metrics from ISBSG data. These metrics can then be used to benchmark your team’s performance.

Java is a powerful, programming language used for many applications. This short paper compares the productivity of different-sized Java projects.
By incorporating standard metrics into IT contracts, it becomes possible to measure the performance of the vendor. Find out more about the key performance indicators (KPIs) that can be used in IT contracts, in our ISBSG short paper.
