Velican, Tudor-Gabriel (author)Maven Central serves as the de-facto repository for distributing free and open-source Java libraries and components. Evaluating its present state and overall robustness is pivotal for enabling the community to make well-informed decisions concerning its future progression. Such informed decisions would undoubtedly benefit the collective...bachelor thesis 2023

Ostrovskis, Lukas (author)Continuous Integration (CI) is a software development technique that enhances software quality and development efficiency, but its implementation usually depends on the project's context. This creates an opportunity for studying real-world CI projects on GitHub, focusing on their CI metrics and best practices. In this paper, we explore various...bachelor thesis 2023

Sterk, Alexander (author)Software development has increasingly become an activity that is (partially) done online on open-source platforms such as GitHub, and with it, so have the tools developers typically use. One such category of tools is that of code coverage tools. These tools track and report coverage data generated during CI tests. As the adoption of these tools...master thesis 2023

de Vries, Bram (author)While continuous integration has already been proven to positively affect software development, little is known about how it should be implemented based on project context. This paper investigates how CI pipelines are configured by analysing data mined from software projects on GitHub. This re- search has shown the continued rise of the CI plat-...bachelor thesis 2023

Constantinescu, Radu (author)The Continuous Integration (CI) practice, has been rapidly growing and developing ever since it's introduction. This practice has been constantly providing benefits to developers such as early bug detection and feedback to development teams. In this study, we aim to identify the descriptive metrics that best illustrate the performance of the CI...bachelor thesis 2023

Hibbs, Patrick (author)Continuous Integration (CI) systems automate the building, testing, and possibly more. However, it is still unclear how CI should be implemented in different contexts. Therefore, this paper tries to answer the question "What metrics can be used to describe project activity", as part of a bigger study. We mined information from 500 repositories...bachelor thesis 2023

El Haji, Khalid (author)Writing unit tests is a crucial task in the software development lifecycle, ensuring the correctness of the software developed. Due to its time-consuming and laborious nature, it is, however, often neglected by software engineers. Numerous automatic test generation tools have been devised to ease unit testing efforts, but these test generation...master thesis 2023

Zhang, Xunhui (author), Yu, Yue (author), Gousios, G. (author), Rastogi, A. (author)Context: The pull-based development model is widely used in open source projects, leading to the emergence of trends in distributed software development. One aspect that has garnered significant attention concerning pull request decisions is the identification of explanatory factors. Objective: This study builds on a decade of research on...journal article 2023

Izadi, M. (author), Nejati, Mahtab (author), Heydarnoori, Abbas (author)Software-related platforms such as GitHub and Stack Overflow, have enabled their users to collaboratively label software entities with a form of metadata called topics. Tagging software repositories with relevant topics can be exploited for facilitating various downstream tasks. For instance, a correct and complete set of topics assigned to a...journal article 2023

Wessel, Mairieli (author), Abdellatif, Ahmad (author), Wiese, Igor Scaliante (author), Conte, Tayana (author), Shihab, Emad (author), Gerosa, Marco Aurélio (author), Steinmacher, Igor (author)Software bots automate tasks within Open Source Software (OSS) projects’ pull requests and save reviewing time and effort (“the good”). However, their interactions can be disruptive and noisy and lead to information overload (“the bad”). To identify strategies to overcome such problems, we applied Design Fiction as a participatory method with 32...conference paper 2022

Wessel, Mairieli (author), Gerosa, Marco Aurélio (author), Shihab, Emad (author)Software bots are becoming increasingly popular in software engineering (SE). In this tutorial, we define what a bot is and present several examples. We also discuss the many benefits bots provide to the SE community, including helping in development tasks (such as pull request review and integration) and onboarding newcomers to a project....conference paper 2022

Sachs, Maxim (author)Since the introduction of Blockchain technologies in Bitcoin (Nakamoto & Bitcoin, 2008), there has been over a decade of innovation and growth. The cryptocurrency markets have formed their own ecosystem and followings. On Wednesday 12 th May, 2021, cryptocurrencies reached their highest total market capitalisation yet, at $ 2.5 trillion ...master thesis 2021

Popovici, Tudor (author)Modern software development involves the usage of external third-party software projects as direct dependencies. Nonetheless, developers of a dependant project have no control over critical aspects such as development and testing of the dependency. This can put the reliant repositories at risk through vulnerabilities, which can be exploited by...bachelor thesis 2021

Zhang, Jiayun (author), Chen, Yang (author), Gong, Qingyuan (author), Ding, Aaron Yi (author), Xiao, Yu (author), Wang, Xin (author), Hui, Pan (author)We identified three temporal patterns shown in commit activities among Chinese and American companies and found that Chinese businesses are more likely to follow long work hours than American ones. We also conducted a survey on the trends of, reasons for, and results of overtime work. Our study could provide references for developers to...journal article 2020

Rastogi, A. (author), Nagappan, Nachiappan (author), Gousios, G. (author), van der Hoek, André (author)Background: Open source software projects show gender bias suggesting that other demographic characteristics of developers, like geographical location, can negatively influence evaluation of contributions too. Aim: This study contributes to this emerging body of knowledge in software development by presenting a quantitative analysis of the...conference paper 2018

Aué, Joop (author), Haisma, Michiel (author), Tómasdóttir, Kristín Fjóla (author), Bacchelli, A. (author)Background: Projects of all sizes and impact are leveraging the services of the social coding platform GitHub to collaborate. Since users' information and actions are recorded, GitHub has been mined for over 6 years now to investigate aspects of the collaborative open source software (OSS) development paradigm. Aim: In this research, we use...conference paper 2016

Beller, M.M. (author), Bholanath, R.M.R. (author), McIntosh, Shane (author), Zaidman, A.E. (author)The use of automatic static analysis has been a software engineering best practice for decades. However, we still do not know a lot about its use in real-world software projects: How prevalent is the use of Automated Static Analysis Tools (ASATs) such as FindBugs and JSHint? How do developers use these tools, and how does their use evolve over...conference paper 2016

Hartog, R.M. (author)Teams using modern day software engineering practices often incorporate code reviews as a quality assurance step in their development. These code reviews are intended to uncover software quality defects before code changes are incorporated into the project. Certain classes of these software quality defects can be detected by so-called static...master thesis 2015
