Experimental Materials for DOM to Source Approach: Web Dev Workspace Complexity Study

Empirical data, metrics, and training materials from a controlled experiment evaluating the D2S approach and C2C toolset. The dataset includes individual participant metrics, IDE session logs, and System Usability Scale (SUS) questionnaire responses. It was authored by Diego Andrés Firmenich and last updated on 2026-05-29.

Use Cases

• Compare task performance between control and experimental groups based on task resolution times and perceived difficulty.
• Analyze developer behavior patterns based on metrics for context switches and files explored before modifications.
• Evaluate tool usability based on responses to the System Usability Scale (SUS) questionnaire.
• Study the impact of AI assistants versus traditional resources on problem-solving based on recorded process variables.

Strengths

• Contains multiple data components: experimental metrics, session logs, and usability scores.
• Includes structured training materials in video format for both control and experimental groups.
• Data originates from a controlled experiment with defined participant groups and expertise levels.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is relatively small at 33.3 MB, which may limit the scope of analysis.
