Back to the future: origins and directions of the “Agile Manifesto” – views of the originators

Philipp Hohl, Jil Klünder, Arie van Bennekum et al. · 9 Nov 2018

In 2001, seventeen professionals set up the manifesto for agile software development. They wanted to define values and basic principles for better software development. On top of being brought into focus, the manifesto has been widely adopted by developers, in software-developing organizations and outside the world of IT. Agile principles and their implementation in practice…

On the evaluation of code smells and detection tools

Thanis Paiva, Amanda Damasceno, Eduardo Figueiredo et al. · 6 Oct 2017

Code smells refer to any symptom in the source code of a program that possibly indicates a deeper problem, hindering software maintenance and evolution. Detection of code smells is challenging for developers and their informal definition leads to the implementation of multiple detection techniques and tools. This paper evaluates and compares four code smell detection…

How diverse is your team? Investigating gender and nationality diversity in GitHub teams

Marco Ortu, Giuseppe Destefanis, Steve Counsell et al. · 1 Dec 2017

Building an effective team of developers is a complex task faced by both software companies and open source communities. The problem of forming a “dream” team involves many variables, including consideration of human factors and it is not a dilemma solvable in a mathematical way. Empirical studies might provide interesting insights to explain which factors…

On multi-language software development, cross-language links and accompanying tools: a survey of professional software developers

Philip Mayer, Michael P. Kirsch, Minh Anh Le · 19 Apr 2017

Non-trivial software systems are written using multiple (programming) languages, which are connected by cross-language links. The existence of such links may lead to various problems during software development. There is little empirical evidence on the incidence of these problems and the experiences of professional developers in this field. We want to provide empirical evidence on…

On the relationship of code-anomaly agglomerations and architectural problems

Willian Oizumi, Alessandro Garcia, Thelma Elita Colanzi et al. · 9 Jul 2015

Several projects have been discontinued in the history of the software industry due to the presence of software architecture problems. The identification of such problems in source code is often required in real project settings, but it is a time-consuming and challenging task. Some authors assume that architectural problems are reflected in source code through…
