    We conducted a quasi-experiment comparing novice pair programmersto experts pair programmers. The expert pairs wrote tests witha higher instruction, line, and method coverage but were slower than thenovices. The pairs within both groups switched keyboard and mousepossession frequently. Furthermore, most pairs did not share the inputdevices equally but rather had one partner who is more active than theother.
