Background: Using feature toggles is a technique that allows developers to either turn a feature on or off with a variable in a conditional statement. Feature toggles are increasingly used by software companies to facilitate continuous…

In collaborative software development, multiple contributors frequently change the source code in parallel to implement new features, fix bugs, refactor existing code, and make other changes. These simultaneous changes need to be merged…

Feature toggles enable developers to control feature states, allowing the features to be released to a limited group of users while preserving overall software functionality. The absence of comprehensive best practices for feature toggle…

Developers create software branches for tentative feature addition and bug fixing, and periodically merge branches to release software with new features or repairing patches. When the program edits from different branches textually overlap…

Feature toggles enable gradual rollouts and experimentation in software systems, yet often persist beyond their intended lifecycle, accumulating as technical debt. Prior research has examined feature toggle interactions and complexity, but…

Federated learning (FL) is a distributed machine learning (ML) paradigm, allowing multiple clients to collaboratively train shared machine learning (ML) models without exposing clients' data privacy. It has gained substantial popularity in…

Git has become one of the most widely used version control systems today. Among its distinguishing features, its ability to easily and quickly create branches stands out, allowing teams to customize their workflows. In this context, various…

The fork-based development mechanism provides the flexibility and the unified processes for software teams to collaborate easily in a distributed setting without too much coordination overhead.Currently, multiple social coding platforms…

Software bots have been facilitating several development activities in Open Source Software (OSS) projects, including code review. However, these bots may bring unexpected impacts to group dynamics, as frequently occurs with new technology…

TypeScript has rapidly become a popular language for modern web development, yet its effect on software faults remains poorly understood. This paper presents the first large-scale empirical study of bugs in real-world TypeScript projects.…

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…

Context Software start-ups have shown their ability to develop and launch innovative software products and services. Small, motivated teams and uncertain project scope makes start-ups good candidates for adopting Agile practices. Objective…

Feature toggles and configuration options are modern programmatic techniques to easily include or exclude functionality in a software product. The research contributions to these two techniques have most often been focused on either one of…

Aspects of frameworks, such as inversion of control and the structure of framework applications, require developers to adjust their debugging strategies as compared to debugging sequential programs. However, the benefits and challenges of…

For teams using distributed version control systems, the right collaborative development workflows can help maintaining the long-term quality of project repositories and improving work efficiency. Despite the fact that the workflows are…

In pull-based development systems, code reviews and pull request comments play important roles in improving code quality. In such systems, reviewers attempt to carefully check a piece of code by different unit tests. Unfortunately,…

The purpose of this review is to understand the importance of collaboration tools which are Slack, Microsoft Teams, Confluence in Agile and software projects. Agile methodologies rely on flexibility, using cycles and integration throughout…

Machine Learning (ML) Operations (MLOps) frameworks have been conceived to support developers and AI engineers in managing the lifecycle of their ML models. While such frameworks provide a wide range of features, developers may leverage…

Source code repositories allow developers to manage multiple versions (or branches) of a software system. Pull-requests are used to modify a branch, and backporting is a regular activity used to port changes from a current development…

To satisfy varying customer needs, device vendors and OS providers often rely on the open-source nature of the Android OS and offer customized versions of the Android OS. When a new version of the Android OS is released, device vendors and…
