How and Why Collaborative Software Development Impacts the Software Engineering Course

Category: Professions and Industries, Software and Web Development

Tags: software engineering, software development, software

Overview This paper presents the results of an initial quantitative investigation to assess a variety of factors that potentially affect the collaborative software development experience. This research was conducted with 119 students in two undergraduate software engineering classes at North Carolina State University. A survey was administered where students could reflect on their collaborative experiences. The authors analyzed these factors for interrelationships as well as for correlations with performance in the course, grade point average, and SAT scores. The findings support the components of the proposed Social Interaction Model of Pair Programming. The substantiation of the Social Interaction Model of Pair Programming values suggests that they should be considered in course planning.
