This paper presents two controlled experiments (a pilot and the main one) investigating the impact of developer personalities and temperaments on communication, collaboration-pair viability and ultimately effectiveness in pair programming. The objective of the experiments was to compare pairs of mixed/ heterogeneous developer personalities and temperaments with pairs of the same personalities and temperaments, in terms of
pair effectiveness.
Pair effectiveness is expressed in terms of
pair performance
, measured by communication, velocity, productivity and customer satisfaction, and
pair collaboration-viability
measured by developers’ satisfaction, knowledge acquisition and participation (collaboration satisfaction ratio, nuisance ratio, voluntary or mandatory preference, and driver or navigator preference). The results have shown that there is significant difference between the two groups, indicating better communication and collaboration-viability for the pairs with mixed personalities/temperaments.
