Dear Participant,

We are researchers investigating ways to improve code review. We would really appreciate it if you could help us by participating in our experiment.

In this experiment:

  • We ask you to perform one code review.

  • As a token of appreciation of your help for our research, we donate 5 USD to a non-profit organization on your behalf (more about this at the bottom of this page).

  • Java knowledge is required since the code changes are from a Java project.

  • Your data is collected and used in anonymized form, and we cannot link your answers back to you.

Donation on your behalf

As mentioned above, to thank you for your participation in the experiment, we are going to donate 5 USD (or its equivalent) to a non-profit organization on your behalf.

The donation is made only on behalf of participants whose experiment is valid and complete. The donation will be done at the end of the entire study and will be announced from this Blinded Twitter Account.

Please select the organization you prefer:






(*) We reserve the right not to accept the organization you specify in case the organization's mission does not align with the ethical values of our research team. In this case, we will donate the amount to one of the first four organizations at random.

Data handling policy



Thank you, and we hope you will enjoy participating in our study!
