Excerpt from Finding Out What Goes on in a Software Development Organization
The few studies that have investigated the human aspects of programming have relied primarily on student programmers or artificial tasks in laboratory settings [curtis86]. Although these have been informative and useful, their relevance to large scale software development is being increasingly questioned. How representative are such samples and tasks? What kinds of problems, unique to.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. The author explores the challenges and processes of software development through experiments with two relatively uncommon data gathering sources: time diaries and direct observation. Over several years, researchers gathered information from dozens of software developers in various roles, resulting in an empirical study of how developers spend their time. The book examines the issue of time usage, often a decisive element in optimizing engineering enterprises, and provides detailed findings on discrepancies in data collection depending on the granularity of a given data set. The author concludes that time-based research is not only feasible but can be quite useful for assessing process information. This book will appeal to software researchers, managers, and anyone interested in optimizing project management and engineering resource allocation.
