Abstract

Day-by-day managers charged with the development of complex embedded systems struggle with the evolving quality and productivity of software. Measurement and reporting of key software project metrics helps these managers visualize software development performance but oftentimes the data and subsequent analyses needed to make decisions is limited at best. Further, the software data needed from multiple software projects across the organization necessary to derive, plan, and implement longer-term strategic and tactical plans for the software organization is difficult to aggregate, organize, and report. This paper provides a way, using project metrics and data envelopment analysis, for a software organization to perform a comparative analysis of software projects, identify strengths and weaknesses of each given a specific software production efficiency model, and identify best practices that should be brought forward within the organization for further study and application on future software projects. Using this technique, a company developing product software can reliably audit and systematically adjust their business processes to continually improve and keep competitive their 'business of software.'

对嵌入式软件开发项目性能进行基准测试

每天负责开发复杂嵌入式系统的管理人员都在与不断发展的软件质量和生产力作斗争。关键软件项目指标的度量和报告帮助这些管理人员可视化软件开发性能，但是通常做出决策所需的数据和后续分析最多是有限的。此外，来自跨组织的多个软件项目所需的软件数据很难汇总、组织和报告，这些数据是为软件组织派生、计划和实现长期战略和战术计划所必需的。本文提供了一种方法，使用项目度量和数据包络分析，为软件组织执行软件项目的比较分析，确定每个特定软件生产效率模型的优势和劣势，并确定应该在组织内提出的最佳实践，以便在未来的软件项目中进一步研究和应用。使用这种技术，开发产品软件的公司可以可靠地审计和系统地调整其业务流程，以不断改进并保持其“软件业务”的竞争力。
