Comparing groups of projects done both with typical and Cleanroom SE:
Cleanroom productivity
was measured at:
559 lines of code
per person per month.
(which was measured
at 370 lines of code per person per month for the first
increments and 584 lines of code per person per month for later increments,
as people became more experienced.)
The "quality"
measured by a FQT (Formal Qualification Test) went from:
Typical SE: group of
projects went from 23 to 27 failures per KLOC (thousand
lines of code)
Cleanroom SE: 1.0
failures per KLOC
Evaluating productivity increases plus cost of fixing failures, for both groups of projects (traditional and Cleanroom) the calculated "Return On Investment" (ROI) was between 20.3 to 1 up to 50.5 to 1.
Important benefits were:
