Research Methodology

Mapping planing

This mapping is highlighting the significant problems that arise due to a lack of process for individual developers to measure their growth in the agile XP team. This mapping will assist us in evaluating the advantages [57] that can be accomplished if the personal software process introduced in the agile XP team to measure an individual’s performance and growth. This study will also help us to find out problems and issues that arise when aligning PSP with the agile XP process.

Research Questions

  1. What problems occurred during the integration of the Personal Software Process with an agile extreme programming team? This question has discussed in table 6 and table 8.
  2. What challenges have encountered in the literature about XP? This question has discussed in table 10.
  3. What are the primary motivations for using XP? Motivations of XP have discussed in table 9.
  4. What are the challenges reported in the literature of PSP? We discussed these challenges in table 12.
  5. What are the primary motivations for using PSP? Motivations of PSP have discussed in table 11.

Search Strategy

for searching primary studies, different digital Computing databases are used. In all electronic databases, the Researcher uses search strings, keywords.

Keywords

Search string for searching the studies. {Personal software process*}, {PSP*}, {agile}, {individual improvement in agile}, {agile and PSP}, {collaborative software process vs personal software process}, {personal software process problems*}, {XP practicing}, {PSP and XP}

Search String(s)

Initial Search String:
(((Agile AND (XP OR Extreme programming)) AND (personal quality measures OR individual quality measures OR person quality measures)) AND (PSP OR personal software process))
Final Search String:
(((Agile OR XP OR Extreme programming) AND personal software process) OR individual OR Solo OR single) AND (PSP)

Primary study

After the substance getting ready is completed, the study is set up for the arrangement. Identical the arrangement record using the Save As heading, and use the naming show that is required by your gathering for the title name of papers. we select all material and import prepared element report. Use the look down window on the left 50% of the MS Word structuring toolbar.

Search Engine

This paper used the advanced search feature of digital libraries for Search strings. Databases that are selected for retrieving relevant articles are shown in below figure 3 and years wise are shown in figure 4.

Criteria of Inclusion

Following inclusion criteria were followed while making a decision.

Criteria of Exclusion

Excluded research papers.

Way of Conducting the mapping

With search string(s) in hand and conferences that were selected for search, 114 papers were selected in total that meet the inclusion criteria for primary study [Table 1]. With the further evaluation of these papers, the Researcher has comprised different types of studies that are most relevant to the issues in hand and filtered papers to 18, as mentioned in Table 1. The first study mentioned in Table 2 and the relevant study mentioned in Table 3. The reference description of primary studies is in Table 4, and the reference description of relevant studies is in Table 5. Aligned parameters extraction detail is in Table 7.
