Abstract
The IoT industry is facing a significant demand to provide more efficient paths for developer communities. At the same time, products are often developed without consideration of usability or are limited to general usability heuristics. Moreover, there is not much research on developers’ behavioral characteristics and its impact on human performance. This paper attempts to show how understanding their skill-, rule-, and knowledge-based behaviors can benefit developer experience and performance efficiency. This study references recent developer products to highlight 1) characteristics of developer behavior and 2) key system design considerations that help improve developer performance. We also discuss gaps identified in industry practices and the opportunities towards more consideration of the cognitive aspects in developer product design processes.
