چکیده

According to psychology, not everybody can excel at all kinds of tasks. Thus, chances of a successful outcome of software development increase if people with particular personality traits are assigned to their preferred tasks in the project. Likewise, software development depends significantly on how software practitioners perform their tasks. This empirical study surveys 100 Cuban software developers, both students and professors of the University of Informatics Sciences in Havana, Cuba. This work aims to find possible patterns that link personality traits to role preferences in a software life cycle. Among the various roles, system analyst, software designer, and programmer are found to be the most preferred among the participants. In contrast, tester and maintainer happen to be the least popular roles among software engineers.
