There are both empirical studies and meta-analyses of pair programming. The empirical studies tend to examine the level of productivity and the quality of the code, while meta-analyses may focus on biases introduced by the process of testing and publishing.
 
A [[meta-analysis]] found pairs typically consider more design alternatives than programmers working alone, arrive at simpler, more maintainable designs, and catch design defects earlier. However, it raised concerns that its findings may have been influenced by "signs of [[publication bias]] among published studies on pair programming"." It concluded that "pair programming is not uniformly beneficial or effective."<ref name="hannay-meta">{{cite journal
