Abstract

The present study explains the development of an experimental process about the comparison of programming styles, which was objective to measure productivity in software creation applying two different styles: Pair Programming and Solo Programming. There was a search for information by different relevant online databases about experimental studies that cover the comparison in the use of known agile methodologies. For each study, it was verified that the address experiments about the implementation of programming styles for software development. The results show that experimentation in this area, in most studies, generates significant results in software development by comparing of the productivity of both programming styles, to determinate the feasibility that programming in pairs can have on individual programming and validate that it is applicable in companies dedicated to software development. In addition, this study provides suggestions for futures experimentation where more detailed parameters and longer execution times are established to obtain different results on the implementation of programming styles belonging to the extreme programming.
