Beschreibungen/Notizen

• •Obtaining large eye-movement datasets from programming is costly, often impossible.•A distributed community effort was launched and eye-movement data were collected from 216 participants with varying background.•The dataset stimulates the field to perform replications, new explorations, and data challenges. A large dataset that contains the eye movements of N=216 programmers of different experience levels captured during two code comprehension tasks is presented. Data are grouped in terms of programming expertise (from none to high) and other demographic descriptors. Data were collected through an international collaborative effort that involved eleven research teams across eight countries on four continents. The same eye tracking apparatus and software was used for the data collection. The Eye Movements in Programming (EMIP) dataset is freely available for download. The varied metadata in the EMIP dataset provides fertile ground for the analysis of gaze behavior and may be used to make novel insights about code comprehension.
