Software measurements and their influence upon machine language design

Published: 14 May 1969 Publication History

Abstract

At present, software development is responsible for a large part of the total cost of computer systems. A segment of this cost is traceable to the development of programming language (e.g., FORTRAN, ALGOL, PL/I) translators which constitute major components of any software package.
