Distributed Pair Programming
Experiment Support Page
I have developed a software application to allow pair
programmers to work together without having to
physically collocate. This tool allows the partners to pair
program from two separate locations, using the Internet to
view and modify their shared desktop.
I am conducting an experiment to
evaluate the effectiveness of this tool, using student volunteers
from the spring 2004 sections of CMPS 12A and 60N.
One-half of the volunteers in this experiment have been
randomly assigned to the tool group - the pairs in this group
are allowed to use this tool on their programming assignments
in the class.
The other half of the volunteers will continue to pair program
while collocated with their partner.
If you are in the tool group, please download the distributed
pair programming client below.
If you have any questions, please send email to Brian Hanks.
