About this title

Synopsis

The author explores the challenges and processes of software development through experiments with two relatively uncommon data gathering sources: time diaries and direct observation. Over several years, researchers gathered information from dozens of software developers in various roles, resulting in an empirical study of how developers spend their time. The book examines the issue of time usage, often a decisive element in optimizing engineering enterprises, and provides detailed findings on discrepancies in data collection depending on the granularity of a given data set. The author concludes that time-based research is not only feasible but can be quite useful for assessing process information. This book will appeal to software researchers, managers, and anyone interested in optimizing project management and engineering resource allocation.
