Abstract

This report presents the details of an empirical experiment designed to evaluate the effects of Pair
Work on the design phase of software development lifecycle. The experiment is designed to
investigate the effects of pair work on the quality of design products and whether the pair work
approach in the design process is more efficient or cost effective than individual work approach.
The aims of the experiment are to compare the quality of the design products produced by pair
designers and individual designers as well as compare the efficiency and cost effectiveness of the
pair work approach and the individual work approaches in the design process. In addition, the
experiment studies the partner's expectations and practices during the pair work experience. The
experimental hypotheses, design, inputs, outputs, and evaluation measures will be described.
