A software process engineering approach to understanding software productivity and team personality characteristics: an empirical investigation

摘要: Despite the significant effort in managing complexities of software development by using several engineering analogies, there is still no comprehensive approach that recognizes as a social activity and productivity form an intangible asset gained maintained relations. This study proposes model which improvement investigated function factors affecting productivity, whereas team considered compatibility problem distinct personality traits should be situated efficient configuration. The fundamental assumption latent construct measurable set indicators improvable relating configurations. The two main contribution this thesis to develop understanding empirical investigation build personality-profiling test based on psychometric scale specific practitioners. To assess validity our approach, we conducted two- step industrial setting: (i) survey 216 practitioners for measuring correlations among (ii) domain game-based 63 participants investigating implications types over effective configurations. Our findings indicate positively associated with capital, can measured 21 different identified from literature. In addition, aspects such size individual’s characteristics have affect productive formations. A strong negative association observed between capital time spend company. Evidence suggests individuals teams become more extroverted while configurations are achieved populated balanced traits.
