Abstract
For the past two years the Software Management Research Unit at General Electric has been investigating several areas of human factors in software engineering with support from Engineering Psychology Programs of the Office of Naval Research. There have been two major thrusts in this research. The first thrust investigated the effects of several modern programming practices on programmer efficiency. The second thrust investigated the prediction of programmer performance from software complexity metrics such as those proposed by Halstead and McCabe. This research program consisted of separate experiments on the understanding, modification, debugging, and construction of software, each using professional programmers. Each experiment investigated both the effects of experimentally manipulated programming practices, and the values of complexity metrics computed from the programs employed.
