Abstract

Model based software development promises to increase productivity by generating executable code automatically from design/models thereby eliminating the manual coding phase. Although new software development projects have yielded high productivity using model based development, its effect on productivity of maintenance projects involving enhancement tasks are not well researched. In this paper we study the impact of model based development on productivity and quality of maintenance tasks. In our study, we observed 173 enhancement tasks done using model based software development, and 156 enhancement tasks using traditional software development, in six live projects over one year at Robert Bosch Engineering & Business Solutions Ltd., a CMMi level 5 software company. For each of these tasks, we collected data on size, effort taken to complete the task, and rework effort to fix any bugs. We found that the productivity of enhancement tasks executed using model based software development was higher by over 10% as compared to traditional software development. No statistically significant difference was found between the model based and traditional software development for the rework effort suggesting that there is no adverse effect on quality.

基于模型的软件开发对增强任务生产率的影响——一项工业研究

基于模型的软件开发承诺通过从设计/模型中自动生成可执行代码从而消除手动编码阶段来提高生产力。尽管新的软件开发项目使用基于模型的开发已经产生了很高的生产力，但是它对涉及增强任务的维护项目的生产力的影响还没有得到很好的研究。本文研究了基于模型的开发对维护任务的生产率和质量的影响。在我们的研究中，我们观察到在罗伯特博世工程与商业解决方案有限公司(一家CMMi 5级软件公司)一年多的六个实时项目中，使用基于模型的软件开发完成了173个增强任务，使用传统软件开发完成了156个增强任务。对于每一个任务，我们收集了关于大小、完成任务所花费的工作量以及修复任何错误的返工工作量的数据。我们发现，与传统软件开发相比，使用基于模型的软件开发执行的增强任务的生产率高出10%以上。在基于模型的软件开发和传统软件开发的返工工作之间没有统计学上的显著差异，这表明对质量没有不利影响。
