Abstract: In recent times vendor-led open source consortia are one of the leading and fast growing topics and it's a favoured and widely accepted concept with many organisations. The purpose of this thesis is to get further insights about the motivation and the reasons responsible behind companies ...

Abstract: Inner source software development is the practice of using open source practices for firm-internal software development. Practitioner reports have shown that inner source can increase flexibility and reduce costs. Despite the potential benefits of inner source, there has been little resea...

Abstract: Continuous improvement of products and processes is one of the key goals of any software development team striving for success in its company. As we know from the practice, necessary improvements are not only hard to identify but sometimes it is even harder to integrate them into a workin...

Abstract: Open Source represents a non-hierarchical and collective approach to software development, that has seen unprecedented success and rapid adoption across a multitude of fields. Inner Source is an attempt to siphon some of the advantages of the Open Source paradigm by applying it to interna...

Abstract: Requirements elicitation is an initial phase and an essential cornerstone in a software development lifecycle. The requirements and, in particular, the software requirements specification form a base for the design and development of software. Several surveys and studies have identified a...

Abstract: Microservice-Systeme bestehen aus eigenständigen, verteilten Services, die über Netzwerkverbindungen miteinander kommunizieren. Das Testen von Service-Integrationen kann bei derartigen Systemen eine Herausforderung darstellen, da hierzu mehrere Services zur selben Zeit ausgeführt werden m...

Abstract: The development of increasingly complex software systems is difficult to handle,especially for smaller entities.

Abstract: Open-source software (OSS) is one of the most debated phenomena in the software industry today, both theoretically and empirically. OSS allows users to modify, copy, distribute, and improve the software for any given purpose. It is a method of sharing software through source code and open...

Abstract: Code review is one of the most important quality assurances of today's software development in open source as well as in industrial context. A side effect of reviewing code is the possibility of sharing knowledge between developers. While this is a common finding in software engineering r...

Abstract: An open source license specifies all rights granted and obligations imposed to the user of the open source software. However, researcher and practitioners are faced with a large diversity of open source licenses. This can lead to a lot time and effort spent on examining the different lice...
