CodersMUSE: Multi-Modal Data Exploration of Program-Comprehension Experiments
Norman Peitek, Sven Apel, André Brechmann, Chris Parnin, Janet Siegmund · 2019
Program comprehension is a central cognitive process in programming. It has been in the focus of researchers for decades, but is still not thoroughly unraveled. Multi-modal psycho-physiological and neurobiological measurement methods have proved successful to gain a more holistic understanding of program comprehension. However, there is no proper tool support that lets researchers explore synchronized, conjoint multi-modal data, specifically designed for the needs in program-comprehension research. In this paper, we present CodersMUSE, a prototype implementation that aims to satisfy this crucial need.
