Abstract

Programming data involving 278 commercial-type programs were collected from 23 medium- to large-scale organizations in order to explore the relationships among variables measuring program type, the testing interface, programming technique, programmer experience, and productivity. Programming technique and programmer experience after 1 year were found to have no impact on productivity, whereas on-line testing was found to reduce productivity. A number of analyses of the data are presented, and their relationship to other studies is discussed.
