Many developers, and not just those who have ended up programming alone in windowless offices, have been excited by pair programming (PP), while others seem extremely annoyed by it. In both cases, perhaps the most important result is that PP leads to rethinking about the concept of development teams and about how individual programmers can best contribute to the project. Now that PP is several years old and has seen increasing interest and adoption, it’s useful to consider what has been learned about its more specific effects. In this article, we systematically reviewed all articles to date that compared the effects of PP and of individual programming. The evidence certainly provides proof of its benefit, although not in all cases and perhaps not in the contexts that many developers would have thought.
