How treat source lines containing more than a single statement? More productive when use assembly language?( the more expressive the language, the lower the apparent productivity) All tasks subsumed under coding task although coding time represents small part of time needed to complete a project Use number of object instructions generated More objective Difficult to estimate until code actually produced Amount of object code generated dependent on high-level language programming styleProgrammer Productivity Metrics (2) Take total number of source code lines delivered and divide by total time required to complete project. What is a source line of code? (declarations? comments? macros?) How treat source lines containing more than a single statement? More productive when use assembly language? (the more expressive the language, the lower the apparent productivity) All tasks subsumed under coding task although coding time represents small part of time needed to complete a project. Use number of object instructions generated. More objective. Difficult to estimate until code actually produced. Amount of object code generated dependent on high-level language programming style. �
