Quantum computing proposes a revolutionary paradigm that can radically transform numerous scientific and industrial application domains. To realize this promise, new capabilities need software solutions that are able to effectively harness…

This paper presents a case study to examine the affinity of the code review process among young developers in an academic setting. Code review is indispensable considering the positive outcomes it generates. However, it is not an individual…

Energy consumption of software applications has emerged as a critical concern for developers to contemplate in their daily development processes. Previous studies have surveyed a limited number of developers to understand their viewpoints…

Peer code review locates common coding rule violations and simple logical errors in the early phases of software development, and thus reduces overall cost. However, in GitHub, identifying an appropriate code reviewer for a pull request is…

Nowadays, developers often turn to Stack Overflow for solutions to daily problems, however, these code snippets are partial code that cannot be tested and verified properly. One way to test these code snippets is to transform them into APIs…

At present, code recommendation tools have gained greater importance to many software developers in various areas of expertise. Having code recommendation tools has enabled better productivity and performance in developing the code in…

Millions of users visit Stack Overflow regularly to ask community for answers to their programming questions. However, like many other platforms, Stack Overflow consistently struggles with low user retention and declining levels of user…

Producing code of good quality is an essential skill in software development. Code quality is an aspect of software quality that concerns the directly observable properties of code, such as decomposition, modularization, and code flow. Code…

Choosing an appropriate software development technology (e.g., programming language) is challenging due to the proliferation of diverse options. The selection of inappropriate technologies for development may have a far-reaching effect on…

Question and answer (Q&A) forums contain valuable information regarding software reuse, but they can be challenging to analyse due to their unstructured free text. Here we introduce a new approach (LANLAN), using word embeddings and machine…

This article proposes a novel methodological approach for developing use cases for CH e-infrastuctures documented using Jupyter Notebooks (JNs), enabling transparency and reproducibility. We also address the present problem of use cases…

Despite extensive testing and correctness certification of their functional semantics, a number of compiler optimizations have been shown to violate security guarantees implemented in source code. While prior work has shed light on how such…

Interactive development environments like Jupyter Notebooks enable incremental coding through cells with immediate feedback, but their linear structure and global namespace limit scalability for large software projects. We present CodePod,…

Reusing code can produce duplicate or near-duplicate code clones in code repositories. Current code clone detection techniques, like Program Dependence Graphs, rely on code structure and their dependencies to detect clones. These techniques…

We as software developers or researchers very often get stacktrace error messages while we are trying to write some code or install some packages. Many times these error messages are very obscure and verbose; do not make much sense to us.…

Stack Overflow (SO) is the most popular question-and-answer website for software developers, providing a large amount of copyable code snippets. Like other software artifacts, code on SO evolves over time, for example when bugs are fixed or…

Code review is widely known as one of the best practices for software quality assurance in software development. In a typical code review process, reviewers check the code committed by developers to ensure the quality of the code, during…

Computational notebooks, such as Jupyter Notebook, have become data scientists' de facto programming environments. Many visualization researchers and practitioners have developed interactive visualization tools that support notebooks, yet…

Suboptimal code is prevalent in software systems. Developers often write low-quality code due to factors like technical knowledge gaps, insufficient experience, time pressure, management decisions, or personal factors. Once integrated, the…
