Abstract——The Personal Software Process is a process improvement methodology aimed at individual software engineers.It claims to
improve software quality (in particular defect content),effort estimation capability,and process adaptation and improvement
capabilities.We have tested some of these claims in an experiment comparing the performance of participants who had just previously
received a PSP course to a different group of participants who had received other technical training instead.Each participant of both
groups performed the same task.We found the following positive effects:The PSP group estimated their productivity (though not their
effort) more accurately,made fewer trivial mistakes,and their programs performed more careful error-checking; further,the
performance variability was smaller in the PSP group in various respects.However,the improvements are smaller than the
PSP proponents usually assume,possibly due to the low actual usage of PSP techniques in the PSP group.We conjecture that
PSP training alone does not automatically realize the PSP's potential benefits (as seen in some industrial PSP success stories) when
programmers are left alone with motivating themselves to actually use the PSP techniques.
