Abstract

A reduced form of the Personal Software Process was used in two introductory programming courses to help students learn the value of a proper programming methodology. Students collected data during the development of their programming projects and that data was summarised and presented to the class as a whole. From the data, students were able to conclude on their own the value of early software development stages (planning, design and review) in reducing debugging time and in producing better quality software.
