Metrics to quantify software developer experience: a systematic mapping
Proceedings of the ACM on Human-Computer Interaction · 2022
Summary
Most selected studies quantified experience through counts of developer activities in code; the mapping catalogs broader metric categories.
For your marketing
Possible founder application
Combine behavioral telemetry with direct experience measures; avoid presenting activity counts as a complete DevEx construct.
