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 ...

Abstract: Open Source communities are largely people centric and work on customized software processes created by people while trying to solve a problem. Hence, most Open Source projects do not have formal processes or do not follow software engineering best practices. But at the same time, they are...

Abstract: Inner source is the use of open source software developing practices in proprietary software development across organizational borders.

Abstract: Continuous Delivery and Continuous Deployment approaches have seen widespread adoption in the software industry. To harness such techniques effectively, close monitoring and detailed knowledge about the state of software in production is highly desirable. This thesis analyzes the JDownload...

Abstract: Using open source code in commercial software development is gaining more and more momentum during the recent years. While providing benefits along all three dimensions of the software development’s magic triangle of cost, time and scope, use of open source in commercial setting holds...

Abstract: Qualitative Data Analysis (QDA) methods are based on manual coding of texts. To extract a domain model from a text corpus using QDA, information has to be extracted and compiled into the domain model by hand. This is especially a problem for cases where large amounts of data have to be ana...
