What do we know about programming?
Watts S. Humphrey · 1997
This brief paper summari 'zes an invited talk I gave at the 7* Workshop on Empirical Studies of Programmers, in Alexandria, VA, on October 24-26, 1997.The paper describes the methods of the Personal Sothvare Process (PSP)sM and shows how PSP data can be used to illuminate some questions about programming work.The paper concludes with two additional questions that need to be addressed as the software business grows and matures.To keep this paper at a reasonable size, I only include selections of the PSP data I showed in the talk.
