Big-Five Personality Traits Mapped with Software Development Tasks to Find Most Productive Software Development Teams

Abstract

The software development lifecycle defines a systematic way of developing good quality software to meet customer expectations about scope, time and budget. Each phase of this development lifecycle is distinct and rigorous which defines an independent body-of-knowledge within the domain of software engineering. Consequently, each phase of development lifecycle demands a different set of skills and personality traits for software engineers to cope-up their work effectiveness to improve the software development process. Hence, it is obligatory to highlight the most relevant personality traits of software engineers working for different phases of development lifecycle. In this regard, this article presents a comprehensive study in which the most relevant personality traits of software engineers have been highlighted for different tasks/phases of software development lifecycle. The big-five personality model has been used to evaluate and correlate the personality of software engineers for each phase due to its wide acceptance in the research and development community.

A Strategy Based on Genetic Algorithms for Forming Optimal Collaborative Learning Groups: An Empirical Study

“…This confirms what has been stated in some studies that affirm that these dimensions of the big five model are among the most representative in programmers and software developers, both in their individual and group work [72][73][74][75][76][77][78]. For its part, as mentioned above, the mixed training that favors the neuroticism dimension (N) was the one that obtained the lowest average score, confirming in the same way what was stated in some related studies [49,72,73,77,[79][80][81].…”

“…These factors or dimensions are traditionally referred to as extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness. Table 2 shows the most prominent characteristics of each of the dimensions of the model [49]. Each value combination in the different dimensions generates a personality type with a different tendency to behave, interact, react, and reason.…”

“…1, No. 2 (23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28) reluctant to reply [12,13]. The poor participation of stakeholders in project conversations and meetings causes the incomplete domain analysis.…”

“…After the completion of objective establishment, backgroundunderstanding phase starts. In this phase, three activities are performed including organization structure understanding, application domain understanding and existing systems understanding [24][25][26]. After the completion of background-understanding phase, the knowledge organization phase starts.…”

Smart Personality Development Model in Software Developer

“…Software development has complex dynamics, namely the complexity of the human personality, which is often ignored and should not be ignored (Calefato et al, 2018). To develop good-quality software, the software developer's life cycle needs to be defined systematically (Iqbal et al, 2019). Humans can be said to be the main tool in developing any software development project.…”
