Researchers from the University of Zurich have developed a system capable of predicting the quality of code produced by developers based on their biometric data. By using heart rate information, for example, they were able to quantify the difficulty a given programmer had in producing a piece of software. This information could then be used to identify likely sections of bad code. 

The researchers described their work in "Using (Bio)metrics to Predict Code Quality Online," presented at the 38th International Conference on Software Engineering.
