Developers often inspect a diff patch during peer code reviews. Diff patches show low-level program differences per file without summarizing systematic changes -- similar, related changes to multiple contexts. We present Critics, an interactive approach for inspecting systematic changes. When a developer specifies code change within a diff patch, Critics allows developers to customize the change template...
To detect integration errors as quickly as possible, organizations use automated build systems. Such systems ensure that (1) the developers are able to integrate their parts into an executable whole, (2) the testers are able to test the built system, (3) and the release engineers are able to leverage the generated build to produce the upcoming release. The flipside of automated builds is that any...
A pilot study was conducted within a software development domain using "knowledge mapping" (K-mapping) as a research technique to locate and indicate improvements to problematic software project-level knowledge flows (K-flows). The goal of the study is to show that the mitigation or removal of obstacles to project-level K-flow will result in software process improvement (SPI) by lowering...
Many failures associated with software development in particular Web-based applications are due to poor awareness of risks involved and the weak management of these risks. Hence, effective risk management has become the essential factor in ensuring the success of the Web project management. We propose RIAP (Risk Identification Architecture Pattern) model to manage risks in Web projects. It has been...
A number of recent studies reported on the success of applying agile methods in scientific software development projects. These studies found that agile methods are well suited to the exploratory, iterative, and collaborative nature of scientific inquiry. However, these findings might not be applicable in all situations pertaining to scientific software development projects. In addition, they only...
