Final Thesis: Merging and Anonymizing User Identities in Software Development
Abstract: Data extracted from software engineering tools, such as GitHub, GitLab, and Jira, can serve as an important source for metrics and studies. However, to conduct accurate studies, we need to unify the non-uniform identities of developers on those platforms. Additionally, identities need to be anonymized before releasing research results. While there are available solutions, […]

Final Thesis: Data Curation in SCA Tool for Improved Software Composition
Abstract: Open source components dominate modern software applications, making license compliance a critical challenge for organizations. While automated processes in Software Composition Analysis (SCA) tools are essential for managing this complexity, they face inherent limitations in accuracy when detecting licenses and copyright statements, managing package metadata, and identifying dependencies. This master’s thesis addresses these limitations […]Abstract: Open source components dominate modern software applications, making license compliance a critical challenge for organizations.

Final Thesis: A Prototype for Comparing Customized Software Projects
Abstract: In software engineering, issue management systems serve as an important indicator for tracking the progress and evolution of a project. The metadata generated by such tools can be used to create quantitative metrics that can help developers and managers guiding the project successfully. Furthermore, these metrics can be used as indicators to compare software […]

Final Thesis: Implementing a Survey Feature for Measuring Developer Sentiment
Abstract: Measuring developer productivity is hard. Often times, qualitative human factors such as developer sentiment are neglected in favor of easier to obtain quantitative metrics such as Lines of Code. This thesis advocates for measuring productivity in its multidimensional form, integrating both quantitative and qualitative data. We present the design and implementation of a survey […]

Final Thesis: Deterministic Classification of Accounting Functions in Code Contributions
Abstract: This thesis proposes a proof of concept for identifying Development, Enhancement, Maintenance, Protection, and Exploitation (DEMPE) functions through code contributions using machine learning techniques. Utilizing Design Science Research Methodology (DSRM), this study aims to create and assess a deterministic classification engine (artifact) for commit messages. Various supervised machine learning models: Logistic Regression, Random Forest, […]Abstract: This thesis proposes a proof of concept for identifying Development, Enhancement, Maintenance, Protection, and Exploitation (DEMPE) functions through code contributions using machine learning techniques.

Final Thesis: Building a Quality Assurance Dashboard for Data Pipelines
Abstract: This thesis presents a lightweight, GitHub-native quality assurance (QA) system for data pipelines. The solution consists of two artifacts: a QA dashboard that summarizes the current quality state, and a QA pull request comment bot that shows change-focused metrics. Metrics focus on four quality characteristics: maintainability, functional suitability, performance efficiency, and security. A configuration-driven […]Abstract: This thesis presents a lightweight, GitHub-native quality assurance (QA) system for data pipelines.
