How about making comparative test where one subject has suboptimal conditions? - no objective given, or change objective in middle of test - no IDE allowed, only notepad and outdated compiler - place next to garbage bin or turbofan engine - randomly generate some 'legacy code'. Result must contain 90% of this code... - no internet connectivity allowed - no external libraries allowed... - code must be deployed within 1 week, it must past code-review before deployment, reviewer is on holiday.... - ask subject some trivial question every 10 minutes. Or thrown in 5 hours meetings randomly. I am sure the productivity will vary... :-)
