You are invited to participate in a research study conducted by Dr. Bonita Sharif’s Software Engineering Research and Empirical Studies Lab at the School of Computing at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
This study is designed to assess how developers fix bugs in Java. During the study we will be collecting eye tracking data via an eye tracker that sits under the monitor, skin conductance via a watch, and recording video via a web cam. The results of this study will help us understand how programmers work to help us in improving the software development process.
We are looking for programmers who are willing to participate in the study. The study will be conducted in the eye tracking lab in Schorr Center in the School of Computing, and only one visit is required. It typically takes the participants around two hours to complete the study. If you decide to participate, you will be asked to complete two questionnaires and some programming tasks. The study is open to people with programming experience (preferably with experience in Java programming) who are 19 years old or older. You will receive a $25 Amazon gift card upon completing the study.
Please sign up using the survey on this link and the graduate student researcher will contact you for scheduling the study:
