The goal of this paper was to identify factors of development effort and productivity and investigate the nature of these relationships using the current release of the ISBSG dataset. In particular, statistical measures of correlations and associations, single-predictor linear regression models, and, most importantly, a moderation analysis were used. Performed analysis demonstrated which attributes are in strong relationships with effort and productivity, investigated the explainability of single-predictor models, and discussed if and how particular attributes moderate the strongest relationships reflected in these single-predictor models.
