Item A SYSTEMATIC MAPPING STUDY ON THE USE OF EYE-TRACKING IN PROGRAM UNDERSTANDABILITY(2022-01-10) ATIED, SHUKRULLAH; Çağıltay, Nergiz Ercil; Topalli, DamlaEye-tracking technology is used to get insight into a person’s vision and determine where they are looking and gather data on their visual behavior. Researchers have been collecting eye movement data to analyses and comprehend various tasks in Software Engineering (SE) by using eye-tracker technology. However, there are very limited studies analyzing the use of eye-tracking technology in the field of SE and providing a general picture from this perspective. Accordingly, in this thesis study, by undertaking a Systematic Mapping (SM) study, it is aimed to bring all evidence together and give an overview on the use of eye-tracking in SE, specifically for program comprehension. 121 related articles were selected after carefully reviewing and excluding unrelated studies. The result shows that the use of eye-tracking in SE is increased in recent years, and different SE activities were studied. Moreover, four different factors are influential in program comprehension: code elements and entities, tools, developer’s background, and eye movement and reading behaviors. These findings may help the developers to adopt the founded influential factors to help them in program understandability.
