Making Software: Rough Cuts Version

kim — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 07:48:38 +0000

Andreas Zeller and myself wrote a book chapter for the book “Making Software” that will be published by O’Reilly Media, Inc. later this year. The editors Andy Oram and Greg Wilson have made “leading thinkers such as Steve McConnell, Barry Boehm, and Barbara Kitchenham offer essays that uncover the truth and unmask myths commonly held among the software development community” (taken from the Safari Books Online webpage).

A preview of the book is made online available on Safari Books Online and allows early birds to provide feedback and comments on the book that will help to make the boo even better.

Software archives mining deals with the automated extraction, collection, and abstraction of data from the information generated during the software development process (e.g. source code archives, bug tracking systems, etc.). This seminar (7 CP) introduces the notion of software archives and teaches recent software archives mining techniques. More details here

Mining the Jazz Repository: Challenges and Opportunities

kim — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 11:42:55 +0000

By integrating various development and collaboration tools into one single platform, the Jazz environment offers several opportunities for software repository miners. In particular, Jazz offers full traceability from the initial requirements via work packages and work assignments to the final changes and tests; all these features can be easily accessed and leveraged for better prediction and recommendation systems. In this paper, we share our initial experiences from mining the Jazz repository. We also give a short overview of the retrieved data sets and discuss possible problems of the Jazz repository and the platform itself.

The IBM_® Jazz_™ project is a new collaboration and programming environment built on top of the Eclipse platform. The focus here lies not only on the developer himself but also on the team and the project management. This project combines common tools in a sensational way and opens new doors for software and repository mining. Jazz will improve not only the communication effort during development but also offers huge possibilities for researchers.
