Final Thesis: A Theory of Open Source Engineering Processes
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 successful and the processes followed are instrumental […]

Final Thesis: A Method to Determine the Return on Investement of Inner Source
Abstract: Inner source is the use of open source software developing practices in proprietary software development across organizational borders. A signiﬁcant amount of companies are adopting inner source. Some companies already utilize inner source practices without a coordinated eﬀort to adopt inner source. It is unclear if the gains of inner source outweight the costs of […]

Final Thesis: A Quality Model for Inner Source
Abstract: Inner Source (IS) ist die Verwendung von Open Source (OS) Entwicklungspraktiken innerhalb einer Organisation. Einige Organisationen führen IS Projekte oder sogar IS Programme durch. Bisher gibt es zwar veröﬀentlichte OS Qualitätsmodelle, allerdings ist kein Qualitätsmodell speziell für IS bekannt. Dieses Papier präsentiert ein Qualitätsmodell für IS Programme und Projekte. Wir führen fünf Interviews mit IS Experten […]Abstract: Inner Source (IS) ist die Verwendung von Open Source (OS) Entwicklungspraktiken innerhalb einer Organisation.

Final Thesis: The Benefits of Continuous Deployment Evaluated Using the JDownloader Software
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 JDownloader Immune System, a real-time monitoring and error detection mechanism developed for the open source download […]Abstract: Continuous Delivery and Continuous Deployment approaches have seen widespread adoption in the software industry.

Final Thesis: Text Mining for Relationship Extraction
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 analyzed. For this purpose, […]
