What is the cost of context switching in development? Context switching can lower productivity, increase fatigue, and, ultimately, lead to developer burnout. Switching tasks requires energy and each switch depletes mental focus needed for high cognitive performance. Over an entire workday, too many...
A software module is presented that enables a user to efficiently switch between interacting with a content object in a first context and a second context. Information from the first context is used when switching to the second context and vice versa, thereby decreasing the overhead associated ...
Context switching is baked into the rigorous, fast-paced work ofAgile product development, in which team members are expected to context switch with ease. They must juggle multiple tasks, roles, and projects while constantly adapting to changing needs and circumstances. Being able to multitask, se...
For decades, people primarily defined context switching in relation to computer programming. Today though, the term context switching has expanded to the workforce in general, and that’s not necessarily a good thing (though it may be a ubiquitous thing). Context switching happens when you shift ...
We like to say that naming things is one of thetwo hard problemsin software development, but there is in fact solid guidance on what makes good names.Naming Thingsstates that a good name has both high comprehension (it can be understood quickly) and high recall (it can be remembered easily...

Colocated software development teams benefit from natural work context building, which occurs mainly thanks to the team members, virtually, being forced to
software can be more selective and save only that portion that actually needs to be saved and reloaded. However, there is some question as to how important this really is in increasing the efficiency of context switching. Its advocates also claim that software context switching allows the switchin...
of the steps in both threads could be paused to switch to the other thread during execution, then the copy thread and the different thread could be thought of as sharing as many as three different context switches (e.g., A1 switching to B1, B1 switching to A2, and A2 switching to B2...
