A Metrics-Based Model for Programming Skill
Oluwatoyin Adelakun-Adeyemo · 2020
Programming is a core skill in computing. Much of computing education and work in industry and research has programming skill is an important factor. Human subjects have varying levels of programming experience which affects their output. The inability to quantify programming skill threatens the validity of research results. Previous research has attempted to model programming skill and experience by finding a correlation between programmer characteristics and number of correct answers in a set of programming tasks. However, the model was not validated. This study is therefore designed to model the skill of programmers and to validate the model using experimental proof approach.
