Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: Two separate schools of thought to measure software engineers' productivity have coexisted: for a long time: on the one hand, using automated product or process measures and, on the other hand, using self-reported or perceived productivity. In this article, we start to bridge the gap between them with an empirical study of 81 software developers at Microsoft.
