Abstract
Human memory organization has been shown to be related to how programmers understand programs. In recent years, agile methods brought the emphasis back on human and social aspects of software engineering with a set of new principles and practices. One of them, pair programming has been shown to improve quality and reduce the development costs. In this position paper, we propose a controlled experiment to evaluate the effect of human memory organization through chunking on code reviews under different single and pair code reviewing scenarios.
