Many feature location techniques have been introduced that automate some or all of this process, and a comprehensive overview of this large body of work would be beneficial to researchers and practitioners. This…

A qualitative study of DevOps usage in practice

Floris Erich, Chintan Amrit, Maya Daneva · 1 Jun 2017

Abstract Organizations are introducing agile and lean software development techniques in operations to increase the pace of their software development process and to improve the quality of their software. They use the term DevOps , a portmanteau of development and operations, as an umbrella term to describe their efforts. In this paper, we describe the…

Scaling agile in large organizations: Practices, challenges, and success factors

Martin Kalenda, Petr Hyna, Bruno Rossi · 16 May 2018

Abstract Context: Agile software development has nowadays reached wide adoption. However, moving agile to large‐scale contexts is a complex task with many challenges involved. Objective: In this paper, we review practices, challenges, and success factors for scaling agile both from literature and within a large software company, identifying the most critical factors.

Combining text mining and data mining for bug report classification

Yu Zhou, Yanxiang Tong, Ruihang Gu et al. · 23 Feb 2016

Bug reports represent an important information source for software construction. Misclassification of these reports inevitably introduces bias. Manual examinations can help reduce the noise, but bring a heavy burden for developers instead. In this paper, we propose a multi-stage approach by combining both text mining and data mining techniques to automate the prediction process. The…

Contextualizing agile software development

Philippe Kruchten · 27 Sep 2011

SUMMARY This paper presents a contextual model for software‐intensive systems development to guide the adoption and adaptation of agile software development practices. This model was found especially useful when the project context departs significantly from the “agile sweet spot”, that is, the ideal conditions in which agile software development practices originated from, and where they…
