Tertiary Study to Find Human Aspects in Software Engineering

Research on the influence of human aspects on software engineering activities has become popular in the past two decades. A number of primary and secondary studies have been carried out to try and determine just how these individual human aspects, as well as subsets of them considered together, might  impact software development, whether good, bad or indeterminate. In this tertiary study we  aim to compile a list of secondary studies and to analyse them to determine findings to date about the influence of human aspects on developing software. The findings will help provide a state of the art information on the research on human aspects in software engineering and help future researchers to design their research in this domain. This will also help practitioners to get an overview of different human aspects and their influence on software engineering.
