Software maintenance and evolution involves critical activities for the success of software projects. To support such activities and keep code up-to-date and error-free, software communities make use of issue trackers, i.e., tools for…
Most modern Issue Tracking Systems (ITSs) for open source software (OSS) projects allow users to add comments to issues. Over time, these comments accumulate into discussion threads embedded with rich information about the software project,…
Managing software projects gets more and more complicated with an increasing project and product size. To cope with this complexity, many organizations use issue tracking systems, where tasks, bugs, and requirements are stored as issues.…
Software repository hosting services contain large amounts of open-source software, with GitHub hosting more than 100 million repositories, from new to established ones. Given this vast amount of projects, there is a pressing need for a…
Effective prioritization of issue reports in software engineering helps to optimize resource allocation and information recovery. However, manual issue classification is laborious and lacks scalability. As an alternative, many open source…
Open Source Software (OSS) is forming the spines of technology infrastructures, attracting millions of talents to contribute. Notably, it is challenging and critical to consider both the developers' interests and the semantic features of…
Software and systems traceability is widely accepted as an essential element for supporting many software development tasks. Today's version control systems provide inbuilt features that allow developers to tag each commit with one or more…
Modern programming languages like Java require runtime systems to support the implementation and deployment of software applications in diverse computing platforms and operating systems. These runtime systems are normally developed in…
Open source software development, particularly within institutions such as universities and research laboratories, is often decentralized and difficult to track. Although academic teams produce many impactful scientific tools, their…
Software development activity has reached a high degree of complexity, guided by the heterogeneity of the components, data sources, and tasks. The proliferation of open-source software (OSS) repositories has stressed the need to reuse…
Standard automatic methods for recognizing problematic development commits can be greatly improved via the incremental application of human+artificial expertise. In this approach, called EMBLEM, an AI tool first explore the software…
Recommender systems are a valuable tool for software engineers. For example, they can provide developers with a ranked list of files likely to contain a bug, or multiple auto-complete suggestions for a given method stub. However, the way…
To perform their daily tasks, developers intensively make use of existing resources by consulting open-source software (OSS) repositories. Such platforms contain rich data sources, e.g., code snippets, documentation, and user discussions,…
Open source software (OSS) development relies on diverse skill sets. However, to our knowledge, there are no tools which detect OSS-related skills. In this paper, we present a novel method to detect OSS skills and prototype it in a tool…
Efficient issue assignment in software development relates to faster resolution time, resources optimization, and reduced development effort. To this end, numerous systems have been developed to automate issue assignment, including AI and…
Lately, software development has become a predominantly online process, as more teams host and monitor their projects remotely. Sophisticated approaches employ issue tracking systems like Jira, predicting the time required to resolve issues…
Agile software development is nowadays a widely adopted practise in both open-source and industrial software projects. Agile teams typically heavily rely on issue management tools to document new issues and keep track of outstanding ones,…
With the advancements of Large Language Models (LLMs), an increasing number of open-source software projects are using LLMs as their core functional component. Although research and practice on LLMs are capturing considerable interest, no…
Software issue localization, the task of identifying the precise code locations (files, classes, or functions) relevant to a natural language issue description (e.g., bug report, feature request), is a critical yet time-consuming aspect of…
In open source software (OSS) communities, existing leadership indicators are dominantly measured by code contribution or community influence. Recent studies on emergent leadership shed light on additional dimensions such as intellectual…
