Fu-Rin-Ka-Zan: Quantitative Analysis of Developers´ Characteristics Based on Project Historical Data

In software development, multiple developers compose a team, and perform a development process. To succeed the development, understanding developers´ characteristics are needed. However, there is no way to measure the characteristics of the developer by quantitative analysis. Therefore, a project manager often assigns team members based on his/her own sense, considering experience year of them. This paper proposes a measurement framework for developers´ characteristics using quantitative historical data. The proposed framework is useful for measuring developers´ characteristics and building a team based on quantitative analysis. We collected historical data from a PBL project for graduate students, and applied our framework to the collected data. As a result, our framework measured developers´ characteristics suitability in our subjective view.
