Abstract

In recent years, several claims have been put forward infavour of pair programming, as opposed to individualprogramming. However, results from existing studies onpair programming contain apparent contradictions. Thedifferences in the context in which the studies wereconducted may be one explanation for such results. Thispaper presents an initial framework for research on pairprogramming. The aim is to support empirical studies andmeta-analysis for developing theories about pairprogramming. The framework is based on (1) existingstudies on pair programming, (2) ongoing studies by theauthors, and (3) theories from group dynamics.
