As computer systems grow ever larger and more complex, a crucial task in software development is for one person (the system expert) to communicate to another (the system novice) how a certain program works. This paper reports on the…

Rule-based models are often used for data analysis as they combine interpretability with predictive power. We present RuleKit, a versatile tool for rule learning. Based on a sequential covering induction algorithm, it is suitable for…

Effective incident management in large-scale IT systems relies on troubleshooting guides (TSGs), but their manual execution is slow and error-prone. While recent advances in LLMs offer promise for automating incident management tasks,…

Data analytics software applications have become an integral part of the decision-making process of analysts. Users of such a software face challenges due to insufficient product and domain knowledge, and find themselves in need of help. To…

[Context] Artificial intelligence (AI) components used in building software solutions have substantially increased in recent years. However, many of these solutions focus on technical aspects and ignore critical human-centered aspects.…

Software Repositories contain knowledge on how software engineering teams work, communicate, and collaborate. It can be used to develop a data-informed view of a team's development process, which in turn can be employed for process…

LoKit is a toolkit based on the coordination language LO. It allows to build distributed collaborative applications by providing a set of generic tools. This paper briefly introduces the concept of the toolkit, presents a subset of the…

Data from software repositories have become an important foundation for the empirical study of software engineering processes. A recurring theme in the repository mining literature is the inference of developer networks capturing e.g.…

In large-scale cloud service systems, support tickets serve as a critical mechanism for resolving customer issues and maintaining service quality. However, traditional manual ticket escalation processes encounter significant challenges,…

The objectives of this study was to bring out the understanding of the concept of agile IT project management; what it is and what it is not. It was also aimed at comparing the pros and cons of both agile and traditional methods of IT…

Reference models convey best practices and standards. The reference frameworks necessitate conformance checks to ensure adherence to established guidelines and principles, which is crucial for maintaining quality and consistency in various…

Retrieval systems often fail when user queries differ stylistically or semantically from the language used in domain documents. Query rewriting has been proposed to bridge this gap, improving retrieval by reformulating user queries into…

To fork a project is to copy the existing code base and move in a direction different than that of the erstwhile project leadership. Forking provides a rapid way to address new requirements by adapting an existing solution. However, it can…

Popular process models such as the Rational Unified Process or the V-Modell XT are by nature large and complex. Each time that a new release is published software development organizations are confronted with the big challenge of…

The agile approach uses continuous delivery, instead of distinct procedure, to work closer with customers and to respond faster requirement changes. All of these are against the traditional plan driven approach. Due to agile method's…

Context: Requirements engineering in global scaled agile software development and the planning phase for a multi-vocal literature review. Objective: Develop a protocol to specify the plan which will be followed to conduct a multi-vocal…

Programming language documentation refers to the set of technical documents that provide application developers with a description of the high-level concepts of a language. Such documentation is essential to support application developers…

As an important way of assuring software quality, software testing generates and executes test cases to identify software failures. Many strategies have been proposed to guide test-case generation, such as source-code-based approaches and…

Large language models are redefining software engineering by implementing AI-powered techniques throughout the whole software development process, including requirement gathering, software architecture, code generation, testing, and…

In large scale agile systems development, the lack of a unified requirements engineering (RE) process is a major challenge, exacerbated by the absence of high level guiding principles for effective requirements management. To address this…
