Abstract:Software productivity is influenced by how efficiently programmers execute tasks assigned to them. For executing a task, programmers execute several steps. How the execution of these steps is organized by a programmer is referred to as task process. While overall software process has been well studied, the impact of task processes has not been studied much. In this work, we study the impact of task processes on the productivity of programmers. We first model a task process as a Markov chain with each state rep… Show more
