Abstract

The Software Engineering (SE) research community has been showing an increasing interest in peopleware, which refers to anything that has to do with the role of human factors in software development. Individuals’ personality is one of the human factors that can affect software development. In this paper, we present the results of a preliminary empirical study to understand whether there is a relationship between the personality traits (i.e., openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism) and productivity of undergraduate students in Computer Science (CS), and internal quality of the programs they developed in an implementation task. In our study, we involved 30 (last-year) undergraduate students in CS, who had to implement a series of features. Our results suggest that there are correlation relationships between some personality traits (i.e., conscientiousness, extraversion, and neuroticism) and software quality. As for productivity, we could not find any correlation relationship.

人格特质在执行任务中的作用:对学生的初步调查

软件工程(SE)研究团体对人件(peopleware)表现出越来越浓厚的兴趣，它指的是与软件开发中人为因素的作用有关的任何东西。个人的个性是影响软件开发的人为因素之一。本文通过初步的实证研究，探讨了计算机科学专业本科生的开放性、严谨性、外向性、亲和性和神经质等人格特征与工作效率之间的关系，以及他们在实施任务中开发的程序的内在质量。在我们的研究中，我们涉及了30名(去年)CS专业的本科生，他们必须实现一系列功能。我们的研究结果表明，一些人格特征(即尽责性、外向性和神经质)与软件质量之间存在相关关系。至于生产率，我们没有发现任何相关关系。
