abstract |
This paper reports on an empirical study about the mechanisms of the collaboration
of drivers and navigators in Pair Programming (PP) sessions. Based on video recordings
of professional software developers, we analysed the mechanisms of role switches and
how developers split the task of driving. We found that developers do not evenly contribute
to the task of driving and that they spend on average a third of the session without
any computer interaction focusing mainly on communication. In addition, our results
show that most pairs switch roles frequently and that the frequency and fuidity of
switches indicate a high level of engagement on the part of both developers. |
