Distributed Pair Programming: An Empirical Study
نویسنده
چکیده
Pair programming provides many benefits, both to the programmers and to the product that they develop. However, pair programming is limited to those situations in which the developers can collocate, preventing its benefits from being enjoyed by the widest possible audience. A software tool that allowed the pair to work from separate locations would address this limitation. This paper presents some initial results from a distributed pair programming experiment in which students in an introductory programming class used such a tool. Student perceptions of distributed pair programming are also discussed.

Empirical Evaluation of Collaborative Support for Distributed Pair Programming
Pair programming is an Extreme Programming (XP) practice where two programmers work on a single computer to produce an artifact. Empirical evaluations have provided evidence that this technique results in higher quality code in half the time it would take an individual programmer. Distributed pair programming could facilitate opportunistic pair programming sessions with colleagues working in re...
متن کاملCombinatorial Pair Testing: Distinguishing Workers from Slackers
We formalize a problem we call combinatorial pair testing (CPT), which has applications to the identification of uncooperative or unproductive participants in pair programming, massively distributed computing, and crowdsourcing environments. We give efficient adaptive and nonadaptive CPT algorithms and we show that our methods use an optimal number of testing rounds to within constant factors. ...
متن کاملDistributed Pair Programming: Empirical Studies and Supporting Environments
Previous research [1, 2] has indicated that pair programming is better than individual programming when the pairs are physically colocated. However, important questions arise: How effective is pair programming if the pairs are not physically next to each other? What if the programmers are geographically distributed? An experiment was conducted to compare the different working arrangements of st...
متن کاملPotential and Actual Collaboration Support for Distributed Pair-Programming
In Pair Programming – a software development technique that is part of Extreme Programming (XP) – two developers work side by side, on a single computer, to jointly produce an artifact. It has been reported that Pair Programming can be accounted for the development of higher quality software in half the time it required a single programmer. Pair programmers are meant to be collocated since they...
متن کاملDistributed Pair Programming Using Collaboration Scripts: An Educational System and Initial Results
Since pair programming appeared in the literature as an effective method of teaching computer programming, many systems were developed to cover the application of pair programming over distance. Today’s systems serve personal, professional and educational purposes allowing distributed teams to work together on the same programming project. The current research focuses in distributed pair progra...
