Abstract

Software development is teamwork, where the team members collaborate despite of their working environments ranging from shared office to working in separate sites around the globe. Regardless of location, the teams need support for their collaborative tasks. In this paper, we present results of utilizing collaborative online coding environment to create new, innovative cloud-based services. We collected data from 37 students in two separate coding exercises, each lasting several days. The results indicate that while some experienced coders saw no benefits of such system, in general participants reported both pragmatic benefits -- increased efficiency of coordinating actions -- and increased motivation due to perceived presence of team members. As our main contribution, we present a design framework for enhancing developer experience in collaborative environments.
