A Study on Emotional Quotient (EQ) and Debugging Ability of Component Based System (CBS)

A. Aloysius, M. Edison

Abstract


There is a lack of measuring techniques in the field of software engineering when compared to the other engineering disciplines. The core focus of the software developers is to reduce the complexity of the software developed. The interest in cognitive methods and techniques has grown to be a great aid in software development. The aim of this paper is to perform a study on a set of students to test/measure their debugging capabilities based on their emotional quotient. These innovative techniques are on the verge of becoming main stream to adapt to measure newer technologies, while newer technologies emerge researchers invent newer methods to measure the complexity of software development. The Pearson correlation statistical method is used to analyze the outcome pertaining to the EQ of the students and their debugging capabilities to derive the result. Debugging capabilities of programmers tend to differ according to their emotional levels, debugging of programs using Component Based Systems and the Emotional Quotient’s (EQ) relation is studied and experiments are conducted to evaluate various emotional and stress levels in correspondence to specific debugging capabilities of the programmer in subject to different technologies. From this study it is found that the student’s ability to debug a piece of code drastically differs based on his/her emotional quotient.
