The current state of the art in software productivity measurement is examined. A framework for understanding software productivity and some fundamentals of measurement are described. Selected studies of software productivity are surveyed, and challenges involved in measuring software productivity are identified. Alternatives for understanding software productivity that attempt to overcome the limitations of current approaches are discussed
