摘要

信息工作者和软件开发人员在日常工作中面临着工作碎片化、活动的交错和中断。小规模的观察研究表明，这可能对他们的工作有害。在本文中，我们针对软件开发人员执行软件进化任务的特殊情况，对这种现象进行了大规模的研究。我们的研究是基于Mylyn为几十个开发人员收集的数千个交互痕迹。我们观察到，在宏观层面(整个会议)和微观层面(围绕工作碎片的标记)，工作碎片化与观察到的较低生产率相关;此外，更长的活动转换似乎加强了这种效果。这些观察结果为后续调查工作碎片化现象的研究奠定了基础。

An empirical study of work fragmentation in software evolution tasks

Information workers and software developers are exposed to work fragmentation, an interleaving of activities and interruptions during their normal work day. Small-scale observational studies have shown that this can be detrimental to their work. In this paper, we perform a large-scale study of this phenomenon for the particular case of software developers performing software evolution tasks. Our study is based on several thousands interaction traces collected by Mylyn, for dozens of developers. We observe that work fragmentation is correlated to lower observed productivity at both the macro level (for entire sessions), and at the micro level (around markers of work fragmentation); further, longer activity switches seem to strengthen the effect. These observations are basis for subsequent studies investigating the phenomenon of work fragmentation.
