2-1 to 10-1 Gains – in 1990 and now!
Some people ask me if I reckon that CA Gen is more productive or less productive than other tools and/or programming systems – well – where do I start!
Perhaps I need to start way back in 1990!
I stumbled across this graph which I’ve reproduced here. It’s from a copy of CIO Magazine in 1990 and stated even THEN that productivity with CA Gen (then called IEF) is 2-1 or even 10-1 times that of traditional mechanisms for software development (or – in this case maintenance).
For a tool to have retained that level of productivity for the last 20 years is impressive.
Now I need to find a graph like this from 2010 !
