During the past years, psychological diseases related to unhealthy work
environments, such as burnouts, have drawn more and more public attention. One
of the known causes of these affective problems is time pressure...In order to
form a theoretical background for time pressure detection in software
repositories, this paper combines interdisciplinary knowledge by analyzing 1270
papers found on Scopus database and containing terms related to time pressure. By clustering those papers based on their abstract, we show that time pressure
has been widely studied across different fields, but relatively little in
software engineering. From a literature review of the most relevant papers, we
infer a list of testable hypotheses that we want to verify in future studies in
order to assess the impact of time pressures on software developers mental
