On the Recruitment of Company Developers for Security Studies...
summary
Researchers conduct 30 semi-structured interviews with professional developers from German companies, each interview lasting 60 minutes and participants offered €100. Findings show participation hinges on clear task descriptions, reasonable duration (many refuse studies longer than four hours), compensation aligned with hourly wage, trust in the institution, and avoidance of intrusive data (biometrics, fMRI). Developers prefer email recruitment, using their own development environments, and debriefs or workshops as added value; recommendations specify task clarity, data-purpose explanations, and university collaboration to build trust.
