Due to conflicting restrictions imposed by those licenses, some of them cannot be used together in the same project. This...

Abstract: Modern code review enables developers to conduct light weighted inspections using tools and is a well-established part of the software development process. However, it is not clearly defined if current processes and methods are done efficiently. In this paper, we examined a dataset fr...

Abstract: Software Companies of the past were keen to develop proprietary software and to hold all boundaries of the software within their control. As open-source software gains momentum and acceptance across the industry, companies start understanding the opportunities underlying it ...
