Repeated Builds During Code Review: An Empirical Study of the OpenStack Community
Rungroj Maipradit, Dong Wang, Patanamon Thongtanunam +3
Code review is a popular practice where developers critique each others' changes. Since automated builds can identify low-level issues (e.g., syntactic errors, regression bugs), it…
Code Reviews with Divergent Review Scores: An Empirical Study of the OpenStack and Qt Communities
Toshiki Hirao, Shane McIntosh, Akinori Ihara +1
Code review is a broadly adopted software quality practice where developers critique each others' patches. In addition to providing constructive feedback, reviewers may provide a s…
Assessing the Exposure of Software Changes: The DiPiDi Approach
Mehran Meidani, Maxime Lamothe, Shane McIntosh
Context: Changing a software application with many build-time configuration settings may introduce unexpected side-effects. For example, a change intended to be specific to a platf…
Characterizing and Mitigating Self-Admitted Technical Debt in Build Systems
Tao Xiao, Dong Wang, Shane McIntosh +4
Technical Debt is a metaphor used to describe the situation in which long-term software artifact quality is traded for short-term goals in software projects. In recent years, the c…
