Code Review Anxiety

Problem: The lack of an empirical model and evidence-based intervention for code review anxiety, despite it being a common, widely-documented experience for software developers. 

Outcomes & Solutions: We developed and empirically tested a model of code review anxiety, as well as a cognitive-behavioral code review anxiety workshop intervention for software developers. The intervention successfully reduced code review anxiety, increased self-efficacy to manage anxiety, and increased self-compassion.
