- Measure
- One slice of Software developers ( form: count ) . The number of individuals developing software or registered on developer platforms. Region and period are columns on every record, not slices.

- Verification
- Each value, unit, period and place was checked against its source evidence before publication. See the methodology and the corrections process.
