using software metrics for measuring productivity of pair programming -


what software metrics can used measuring performance of pair programming ?

to clear

is there metrics used measure pair programming , not use measure individual programmer ? parameters used measuring ?

for example:if want measure cost both individual , pair programming let's assume individual programming cost = x pair cost = 2* x

right

and same time individual time = t while pair time = 2* t

so if use lines of code measuring product size , there different between individual , pair using metric?

any idea

sorry spoil party, lines of code 1 of worst metrics possible, if people know assessment or bonus in way tied metric. actively encourages cut , paste programming , other attrocities. it's more effort, why don't categorise workload in terms of expected effort 1 person, based on historical data? or, programmers agree few projects redundantly, rotating between pair-programming , individual, can see how same programmers go @ each. 1 programmer can more productive 2 average programmers (i vaguely remember old ibm study concluding in top percentile 27x more productive median), it's useful see same programmers doing both ways. if objectively discovering right process through such experiment costly in terms of lost short-term productivity, you're better off not bothering loc metrics anyway... programmers knowing work arrangements being based on such highly unimpressed.

remember there intangibles involved... pair programming - imho - forces people keep focused, , make design decisions more rounded , professional. social contact can relieve boredom, though may stress people too. suspicion - whether or not it's faster begin - makes better, more maintainable results. ensures skill , knowledge transfer. should factor in such intangible aspects best can - maybe doing interviews or anonymous surveys trial participants.
