“…The transcriptions were independently coded by three researchers; the individual codings were then combined and compared by the third author. Coding is the process that categorizes qualitative data into different themes via three steps: open coding, axial coding, and selective coding [31,33]. Open coding is the process of identifying the categories in the data and the properties of the different categories.…”

“…Much of the research on pair programming in an academic environment has concentrated on establishing the efficacy of the practice for educating students. Studies conducted at NCSU [5,6,20,22,25,31] have shown that pair programming creates an environment conducive to more advanced, active learning and social interaction, leading to students being less frustrated, more confident, and more interested in IT. Further, a study of undergraduate students at Pace University found a positive correlation between out-of-class collaboration and student achievement based on student projects and examination grades [15].…”

“…Previous phases of our study [5,31] have focused primarily on women and non-ethnic minority 2 students. In this paper, we switch our focus and discuss the important social factors created by pair programming and collaboration as gathered from interviews with 11 African-American Millennial students at NCAT.…”

Millennial students (those born after 1982), particularly African Americans and women, have demonstrated a propensity toward collaborative activities.We conducted a collective case study at North Carolina State University and North Carolina A&T to ascertain the role of collaboration and social interaction in attracting and retaining students in information technology. Responses from semi-structured interviews with 11 representative African American students in these classes were coded and analyzed. The responses from these minority students were used to evolve a social interaction model. The conjectures generated from the model suggest that pair programming and agile software methodologies effectively create a collaborative environment that is desirable to Millennial students, male and female, and, with the new evidence, minority and majority. Additionally, the African American Millennial students enjoy learning from their peers and believe that a collaborative environment better prepares them for the "real world."

“…Studies conducted in undergraduate classes have examined the social interaction with respect to ASD for the purpose of determining if students have more effective learning opportunities. One study [8] points to pair programming in ASD as a potential learning opportunity for software development. A Social Interaction Model of Pair Programming resulted from data collected in two forms for assessment: interviews to gauge participation and satisfaction, and self-reported documentation by the students about their perspective on project outcomes.…”

The Agile Software Development (ASD) process is at the forefront of rapid product development driven by changing customer requirements and a trusted, self-organizing development team. Scrum has become a viable model of ASD focusing on determining immediate deliverables and structuring short timelines, called Sprints, for designing, implementing, and providing them for testing by the customer. While these practices are being adopted by organizations, there is significant difficulty in scaling them to the classroom. Once in place, it is a complex task to evaluate individual student performance based solely on the product outcome and Sprint grade. Thus, there is limited opportunity to catch performance problems that may lead to missing deliverable deadlines or decreasing team trust. In this paper, we impose ASD using Scrum on a senior software projects course in Computer Science. Using a collaborative environment that embeds a social network, project management modules, and event capture system, we perform broad data and event capture and analysis to investigate metrics that are relevant to assessing individual performance aspects related to functioning on an Agile team for software development. Our results suggest that predictive data is available after each Sprint to ascertain individual performance attributes and their relationship to product outcomes.

Agile methodologies have gained recognition as efficient development processes through their quick delivery of software, even under time constraints. However, like other agile methods such as Scrum, Extreme Programming (XP) and The Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM), Feature Driven Development (FDD) has been criticized due to the unavailability of security elements in its twelve practices. In order to examine this matter more closely, we conducted a systematic literature review (SLR) and studied literature for the years 2001-2012. Our findings highlight that, in its current form, the FDD model partially supports the development of secure software. However, there is little research on this topic, as detailed information about the usage of secure software is rarely published. Thus, we have been able to conclude that the existing five phases of FDD have not been enough to develop secure software until recently. For this reason, security-based phase and practices in FDD need to be proposed.
