Software productivity study for a software development team is quite important, since it can be used to effectively reward team members, to help controlling project progress, and even to improve software quality. In this thesis, three different software product lines are empirical studied. Except the differences of implementation languages and documentation technologies, the three software product lines are sharing the same software life cycle management methodology. The languages for the three software product lines are Java, MS.Net, and 4GL, respectively. From our empirical study, it shows that regardless of pattern-wise or project-wise, the productivity of Java software product line is truely the worst one. However, if excluding the effort caused by the documentation technology, Java software product line demonstrates the best productivity. This study concludes that, software productivity of a software product line is not only affected by the implementation technology, but also by the software process it adopts.
