Impact of Video Conferencing Applications on Remote Workers

Abstract

With the effect of the pandemic that has affected the worldwide in recent years, the spread of remote working has made it popular to conduct collaborative works such as pair programming, debugging and bug finding in software engineering through video conferencing applications. Although this situation makes it difficult for employees to synchronize and adapt with each other from time to time, the advantages of working remotely should not be ignored. In this study, some studies with eye tracking devices in the literature will be mentioned and the results will be summarized in order to measure the interaction of software teams with each other while working remotely with video conferencing applications. Then, the efficiency between face-toface working with the employees of a company that has adopted the semi-remote working methodology and remote paired programming using video conferencing applications will be compared. © 2022 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
