To lower the barriers to entry into software development, we created a prototype IDE for novices called CodePilot, which is, to our knowledge, the first attempt to integrate coding, testing, bug reporting, and version control management into a real-time collaborative system. CodePilot enables multiple users to connect to a web-based programming session and work together on several major phases of software development. An eight-subject exploratory user study found that first-time users of CodePilot spontaneously used it to assume roles such as developer/tester and developer/assistant when creating a web application together in pairs. Users felt that CodePilot could aid in scaffolding for novices, situational awareness, and lowering barriers to impromptu collaboration.}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 2017 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems}, pages = {1136–1141}, numpages = {6}, keywords = {collaborative ide, novice programmers, pair programming}, location = {Denver, Colorado, USA}, series = {CHI '17} }
