PP-ind: Description of a Repository of Industrial Pair Programming Research Data
This provides a dataset for researchers studying pair programming in industrial settings, but it is incremental as it primarily describes data collection without new methods or results.
The authors introduced PP-ind, a repository of audio-video recordings from industrial pair programming sessions collected since 2007 across 13 companies, involving 57 developers in 67 sessions with a mean length of 1 hour and 35 minutes, and described the data collection process and session summaries.
PP-ind is a repository of audio-video-recordings of industrial pair programming sessions. Since 2007, our research group has collected data in 13 companies. A total of 57 developers worked together (mostly in groups of two, but also three or four) in 67 sessions with a mean length of 1:35 hours. In this report, we describe how we collected the data and provide summaries and characterizations of the sessions.
