Pavel A. Orlov, V. M. Ivanov · 2012
The objective assessment of the level of professional competence of programmers is an urgent task. In our research we try to find patterns in the behavioral aspect of programmer's work. Therefore we have conducted an experiment and collected gaze fixation data from professional programmers. During the analysis of the results we faced with different kinds of information representation for “back-end” and “front-end” developers. We assume that this factor may be an additional result of the experiment, namely, the programmers of varying specificity are formed of various behavioral situations. We showed that there is a general trend of the nature of the presence of sampling time gaze fixation under the supervision of the work of Web developers, suggesting the formation of a web developer similar behavioral aspects of the work. Finally we proposed the method to assessment of level professional competence of the programmers. As part of future research we propose to investigate the influence different factors(such as operational experience or IQ) to instrumental component of the competence of the programmer.
