The Return of the Mythical Man Month

Underestimation of the cost, schedule, and risk of projects is common in software development and especially prevalent in mathematical software development. It is common to encounter extremely optimistic ideas about the duration and difficulty level of mathematical software projects, ironically one of the more difficult kinds of software development, as well as magical ideas about mathematics.

There is relatively little publicly available information on the scope and difficulty level of software projects of any kind. Some information is available in books and papers by various self-styled software engineering experts such as Barry Boehm, Donald Reifer, Capers Jones, and several others. These experts usually have consulting businesses and do not disclose their raw data and make limited disclosures of the results of analyses of their data.

Open source software projects can provide an excellent source of information on some aspects, such as the number of lines of computer code, of various software and mathematical software projects. This information can be independently verified by downloading the source code of an open source project and examining it, using tools like the CLOC utility to count the lines of code if needed.

Unfortunately, it is difficult to get accurate estimates of the actual effort expended on an open source project. It is difficult to verify if a contributor worked part-time, full time, or more than full time on the project. Some contributors may not be credited.

This article examines a data set of ninety-three NASA projects between the years 1971-1987 that was collected by Jairus Hihn of the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). The data is the NASA 93 data set from the PROMISE Software Engineering Repository at the University of Ottawa.

The data lists the number of source lines of code (SLOC) for each project, the actual effort expended in staff months (SM), and classified the projects according to software engineering expert Barry Boehm’s COCOMO I (Constructive Cost Model). The data used for Boehm’s COCOMO I model is also available as a data set in the PROMISE repository.

A Note on Lines of Code

Lines of code is a very imperfect measure of the size and scope of a software project. For example, these are both one line of code in the C Programming Language:

a = 1;

and

a = (1.0/sqrt(2.0*M_PI))*exp(-(x - mean)*(x-mean)/(sigma*sigma));

There are several different definitions of lines of code used in the literature on software cost and schedule estimation. In additional, there are a range of alternatives that have been proposed to lines of codes, such as function points (currently popular).

Nonetheless, lines of code are somewhat reminiscent of Winston Churchill’s quote about democracy:


It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried.

Function points were developed for business applications and rely heavily on counting the number of inputs and outputs to a program. This often works well for business applications where the applications are often relatively simple and the complexity scales with the number of inputs and outputs. Mathematical software such as video codecs often have few inputs (one compressed file or data stream) and outputs (uncompressed video) but a very complex internal implementation (tens of thousands of lines of code). This has been recognized as a weakness of function points for some time and there are some variations such as so-called “feature points” that attempt to address this problem.

Further, methods like function points require substantial training and study to measure and learn to use. They are not relatively intuitive like lines of code. There is much more data on software projects available in lines of code than function points.

One good way to think about lines of code is that each line of code is like a single moving part in a complex machine like a grandfather clock. Some parts are simple like the first line of code above. Some parts are more complex like the second line of code above. In general, lines of code would correspond to moving parts if one tried to implement a computer program as a mechanical device like Victorian era English mathematician Charles Babbage’s steam driven difference engine.

In mathematical software such as video compression, speech recognition, or other advanced applications, a line of code is usually directly equivalent to a single line of a mathematical formula or equation that a math teacher or professor might write on a blackboard or dry erase board in class. Most examples of mathematics taught in high school or college math courses cover at most a dozen blackboards. These are often building blocks of the mathematical solutions to real-world problems or cutting edge research problems. Most real-world examples of mathematical software such as video codecs such as the H.264, Flash, or Microsoft Silverlight video compression used by web sites today are many thousands of lines of code and correspond to hundreds or thousands of blackboards filled with mathematical equations and formulas.

NASA 93 Shown by COCOMO Mode

The COCOMO model divides software projects into three general categories or “modes”. These are the embedded, semi-detached, and organic. Embedded mode projects such as flight avionics software are most similar in difficulty to mathematical software projects. Indeed, due to safety issues, flight avionics software can be more demanding, requiring higher quality, than commercial applications such as video compression for entertainment. The software productivity in lines of code per staff month is now shown for the three kinds of projects.

The next plot compares the NASA 93 data to Barry Boehm’s Basic COCOMO I model for Embedded Projects (red line) and to a linear fit to the NASA 93 data (green line). As can be seen, there is considerable variation between actual and estimated effort, although the models are on average roughly correct and usually within a factor of three of actual effort.

The final plot shows the relative error between the actual effort and the estimated effort using the fitted model.

Conclusion

On average, the software productivity for demanding software applications such as embedded aerospace applications tends to be quite low, in the range of two-hundred (200) lines of code per staff month (mythical man month). However, there is wide variation between actual and estimated effort. The highest productivity (defined as lines of code per staff month) among the embedded projects in the NASA 93 data set was about 700 lines of code per month, and the lowest around 50 lines of code per month. Given the difficulties in defining lines of code and measuring the quality of the delivered software, it is impossible to evaluate the significance of these variations without more detailed information on the projects.

It is important to keep in mind that numbers like two-hundred lines of code per staff month do not refer to just typing two-hundred lines of code which can take as little as a few minutes. They refer to the entire software development process, usually including requirements analysis, software design, actual coding, and especially debugging to achieve the high levels of quality required for these applications.

There are several cases where a single error in a single line of mathematical software has resulted in the loss of a multi-million dollar mission or human lives. The loss of the Mariner I probe to Mars is frequently attributed to a small error in copying a mathematical formula into the probe’s computer software. In 1991 a subtle error in the mathematical software for a PATRIOT missile system resulted in an Iraqi SCUD missile penetrating to a US base in Dahran, Saudi Arabia and killing 28 soldiers. On June 4, 1995 the European Space Agency’s first launch of the new Ariane 5 rocket exploded due to an error converting a 64 bit floating point number incorrectly to a 16 bit integer number in software. The loss of NASA’s Mars Climate Orbiter (MCO) in 1999 has been attributed to an incorrect conversion between English units (foot-pounds) and metric units (meters-Newtons). Aviation and rocketry have especially demanding requirements for the quality of software.

While commercial applications of mathematical software such as video compression for entertainment are not always as demanding as mission-critical aerospace software, they can still be quite demanding. Viewers of compressed video such as Netflix, YouTube, BluRay, or DVD video have a pretty limited tolerance for visible artifacts and errors in the video. Almost any error in the implementation of a video codec can introduce visible artifacts or errors, so the codecs must, in general, achieve very high levels of quality, though not necessarily perfect.
