开发者向 LLM 委派编程任务的四种模式与信任因素：一项混合方法研究
Developer Task Delegation to LLMs and the Trust Factor: A Mixed Methods Study
AI 导读
一项基于 22 次访谈和对 160 名软件从业者问卷的混合方法研究，揭示了开发者向 LLM 委派软件任务的四种模式：完全委派、部分委派、自我委派和任务回避。研究发现任务难度、风险、开发者动机与信任均与委派行为相关，其中统计分析显示信任是显著因素。该论文已被 ICSE'27 接收。

Abstract:With the rise of Large Language Models (LLMs), software developers are presented with a powerful new approach: delegating software development tasks to LLMs. Existing studies have explored task delegation for a subset of tasks and factors. Critically, what tasks developers delegate to LLMs, to what extent, and why they delegate them, is not yet well understood. We explore these questions through 22 interviews and a survey with 160 software practitioners. Developers reported employing four modes of task delegation to LLMs: full delegation, partial delegation, self-delegation, and task avoidance. Drawing on our qualitative findings, we discuss the rationales behind these choices and explore how task difficulty, task risk, developer motivation, and trust appear to be associated with software development task delegation to LLMs. Our statistical analysis reveals that trust is a significant factor associated with task delegation to LLMs. Finally, we share actionable implications for human-AI collaboration in software research, and for software practitioners to make the most of their newly found powers of delegation.
