Abstract

Change-based code review is a software quality assurance technique that is widely used in practice. Therefore, better understanding what influences performance in code reviews and finding ways to improve it can have a large impact. In this study, we examine the association of working memory capacity and cognitive load with code review performance and we test the predictions of a recent theory regarding improved code review efficiency with certain code change part orders. We perform a confirmatory experiment with 50 participants, mostl
