Abstract
In recent years, the use of biological signals to understand the oper- ations of software engineers has emerged, although with a limited understanding of its successful application. This paper provides primary evidence that biological signals obtained by electroen- cephalography (EEG) may provide valuable information from the perspective of software engineers, who then decode the adequacy, consistency, and efficiency of their work. The experimentation with 20 different professional male software engineers has been completed. Two natural situations have been investigated: pair programming and programming with (without) music. The early findings show the methodology’s effectivenessI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
