A Monitoring System for Machine Learning Models in a Large-Scale Context

Since building a machine learning model costs a lot while following 9 stages, the automated machine learning model creation became a crucial role in a large-scale context. At the same time, a monitoring system became an essential factor for machine learning models. This thesis presents the monitoring system for machine learning models at ING in...

Automatic Ordering of Code Changes for Review

Code review has been proved to be an extremely important practice to ensure softwarequality. In recent years, the trend has moved towards modern code review, a lightweight and less strict paradigm. Despite its many advantages, this approach still has room for further improvement, especially in the area of cognitive support for reviewers.<br/...

The impact of type systems and test tooling on codified testing strategies: an exploratory multi-method approach

Software testing has been around for decades and many tools exist to aid developers in their testing process. However, little is known about the rate at which developers test their projects, the tools they use for these purposes and the impact of type systems on testing practices. Our work is the first of its kind to identify and classify...

Why and How JavaScript Developers Use Linters

A linter is a type of static analysis tool that warns software developers about pos- sible errors in code or violations to coding standards. By using such a tool, errors can be surfaced early in the development process when they are cheaper to fix, and code can be kept more readable and maintainable. For such a tool to be successful, it is...
