Technical and Non-Technical skills

A novel framework for evaluating developers’ code comprehension proficiency through technical and non-technical skills


Context:


Code comprehension is an essential software maintenance skill, where technical skills are often considered the primary benchmark for evaluating developers’ proficiency, overlooking the significant role of non-technical skills.

Objective:


Our work aims to propose a generalized framework for measuring developers’ code comprehension proficiency by integrating technical and non-technical skills, inspired by cognitive attraction networks, and conducting an empirical study to evaluate code comprehension proficiency based on selective skills.

Methods:


The generalized framework evaluates developers’ technical and non-technical skills separately using collected data and computes their respective indices to derive an overall measure of code comprehension ability, represented as the comprehension measure index (CMI). Additionally, an empirical study with 158 participants assessed technical skills, including code understanding, debugging, and completion, alongside non-technical skills such as problem-solving, emotions, long-term memory, belief, desire, intention, and commitment to compute their overall code comprehension proficiency.

Results:


Based on the obtained indices values related to technical and non-technical parameters, the study identifies multiple factors affecting participants’ performance, including lack of technical knowledge, reliance on guesswork, stress intolerance, lack of commitment and desire, difficulty understanding logic, inability to recall concepts, and check other contributing factors. To enhance our results K-means clustering is done to group the participants into three clusters according to their performance.

Conclusion:


Integrating technical and non-technical skills enables a more accurate assessment by addressing factors beyond technical expertise. The framework can help managers and tutors identify strengths and weaknesses, allowing task assignments that align with strengths of developers while addressing areas for improvement.

Detecting Co-Resident Attacks in 5G Clouds! Detecting co-resident attacks in 5G clouds involves identifying malicious activities where attackers share physical cloud resources with victims to steal data or disrupt services. Techniques like machine learning, behavioral analysis, and resource monitoring help detect unusual patterns, ensuring stronger security and privacy in 5G cloud environments. Detecting Co-Resident Attacks in 5G Clouds In a 5G cloud environment, many different users (including businesses and individuals) share the same physical infrastructure through virtualization technologies like Virtual Machines (VMs) and containers. Co-resident attacks occur when a malicious user manages to place their VM or container on the same physical server as a target. Once co-residency is achieved, attackers can exploit shared resources like CPU caches, memory buses, or network interfaces to gather sensitive information or launch denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. Why are Co-Resident Attack...

Network Architecture

An introduction to satellite network architecture Satellite networking is a digital revolution that connects people from across the world instantly -- from enabling real-time communications to making the world a safer place. A satellite is an artificial object put into the Earth's orbit to gather and distribute crucial data. Since the late 1950s, satellites have only transmitted and received data, as bent pipe satellites weren't able to perform other functions. In modern times, a group of satellites in the same orbit forms a satellite network. Satellite networks process data and provide accurate visual and textual information. Unlike terrestrial network infrastructure, satellite network scalability isn't limited by geography and cost. According to a March 2025 report from Goldman Sachs, the global satellite market is expected to hit $108 billion by 2035, growing sevenfold from its current valuation. Satellite networks consist of the following: The ground equipment. The sa...
