Abstract
There is a high possibility that it will be difficult to make a precise judgment of programming skills only by static analysis of the created source programs. In the process of coding a source program, it is thought that characteristic operations such as the timing of keystrokes and differences in notation and expressions depending on the programming style can be seen. In this paper, we experimented to verify whether it is possible to make a precise judgment of programming skills by analyzing the values extracted from the recorded data of coding sequences. The experimental results showed that (1) the total time of inactivity of 30 seconds or longer extracted from the coding sequences and (2) the average number of characters used in variable and function names were weakly correlated with programming skill. This suggests that analysis based on values extracted from coding sequences can be used to determine programming skills in a precise manner.
