Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 6Understanding Personality Differences in Software Organisations Using Keirsey Temperament Sorter(inst Engineering Technology-iet, 2015) O'Connor, Rory V.; Yilmaz, MuratIn recent years, there has been an increasing interest in exploring personality differences to improve work experience in software organisations. This study presents a personality assessment process conducted on 382 software practitioners using the Keirsey temperament sorter II. The primary goal of this assessment is to explore the personality temperaments of software practitioners working in different types of software development organisations. In addition, a novel visualisation approach is proposed for arranging temperaments using a periodic table-like structure. The results suggest that the authors approach provides an effective means to investigate an organisation's personality profile while assessing personality types.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 6Exploring the Belief Systems of Software Development Professionals(Taylor & Francis inc, 2015) O'Connor, Rory V.; Yilmaz, MuratIt is commonly accepted that an individual's beliefs and actions are based on his or her assessment and perceptions of the world. In order to determine what practices an individual is likely to follow at any given time, it is necessary to understand the individual's behavioral intention in a given circumstance. From an Information Technology perspective, a software development professional's belief systems are potentially the basis for the adoption and implementation of new and innovative work practices and processes. In this article, we explore the belief systems of software development professionals in order to understand the beliefs underlying intention and practice, and we seek answers about how they adopt or reject new and innovative software development processes and practices. The results point out a strong influence of past experiences, personality types, and repeated behavior on current software development processes and practices in industrial settings.Editorial Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Guest Editorial: Gamification and Persuasive Games for Software Engineering(inst Engineering Technology-iet, 2019) O'Connor, Rory V.; Colomo-Palacios, Ricardo; Clarke, Paul; Yilmaz, MuratArticle Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 17Integration of Accessibility Design Patterns With the Software Implementation Process of Iso/Iec 29110(Wiley, 2019) Sanchez-Gordon, Mary; Yilmaz, Murat; O'Connor, Rory V.; Sanchez-Gordon, SandraThe Web Content Accessibility Guidelines was developed by World Wide Web Consortium with a goal of providing a single shared standard for web content accessibility that meets the needs of individuals, organizations, and governments. Given that there is a large percentage of very small entities that develop software who also utilize the ISO/IEC software process standard, the purpose of this study is the development of software design patterns for users with visual disabilities. As a result, four accessibility design patterns are defined: Authentication adapter, Blindness adapter, Dichromatic color vision adapter, and Blurry vision adapter. These patterns will help to improve the design of the web applications built using them while being compliant with the ISO/IEC 29110 standard. The use of design patterns also enables the transfer of design experience to programming practices and improves the software documentation. To validate the set of patterns, an online course for Spanish speakers was developed, and the evaluation was carried out using simulators, automated tools, experts, and users. Simulators and automated tools showed no accessibility errors and experts evaluated 10 heuristics principles and did not identify any severity issues. Taken together, our results provide positive evidence that users with visual disabilities could benefit from the proposed features.
