Martin Fowler wrote an article in 2003 titled Cannot Measure Productivity. Kent Beck concluded , Measure developer productivity? We use Extreme Programming as our model of how to develop software. They also love test-driven development, pairing, continuous integration, and evolutionary design. Not possible.

In 1999, Kent Beck proposed a radically new approach to software development in the book “Extreme Programming Explained” (Beck, 1999). Put the tests into a test harness for ongoing code verification. It was exciting to watch the expansion of test-driven development and continuous integration during the decade of 2000-2010.
