Programmer's Performance with the Keystroke as an Indicator: A Further Study

摘要: This paper represents a follow-up work that investigates the keystroke pattern of programmers to understand their intellectual behavior while writing code. In this study, we conducted one case study in order check how students would perform under pressure, both similarity and difference from previous experiment. The motivation was observing corresponded pressure terms performance might help us better understanding cognitive process since is indispensable daily programming job industrial settings. We asked twenty-four second-year undergraduate conduct which they implemented program. Their numbers keystrokes were recorded productivity analyzed. result demonstrates there no close relationship between quality code with pressure. However, it seems high have productivity. Programmers are also more productive keystrokes.
