Code velocity, or the speed with which code changes are integrated into a production environment, plays a crucial role in Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment. Many studies report factors influencing code velocity. However,…

Software bots, extensively adopted by Open Source Software (OSS) projects, support developers across several activities, from automating predefined tasks to generating code that aids software engineers. However, with the growing prominence…

Sustaining newcomer participation is critical for the long-term health of open-source communities. Although prior research has explored various task recommendation approaches to help newcomers resolve their first-issue, these methods…

It is now commonplace for organizations to pay developers to work on specific open source software (OSS) projects to pursue their business goals. Such paid developers work alongside voluntary contributors, but given the different…

We consider the pull-based broadcast scheduling model. In this model, there are n unit-sized pages of information available at the server. Requests arrive over time at the server asking for a specific page. When the server transmits a page,…

Context: To attract, onboard, and retain any new-comer in Open Source Software (OSS) projects is vital to their livelihood. Recent studies conclude that OSS projects risk failure due to abandonment and poor participation of newcomers.…

AI-based coding agents are increasingly integrated into software development workflows, collaborating with developers to create pull requests (PRs). Despite their growing adoption, the role of human-agent collaboration in software testing…

In software development there is a constant pressure to produce code faster and faster without compromising on quality. New tools supporting developers are created in response to this demand. Currently a new generation of such solutions is…

As open source software (OSS) becomes increasingly mature and popular, there are significant challenges with properly accounting for usability concerns for the diverse end users. Participatory design, where multiple stakeholders collaborate…

End users positive response is essential for the success of any software. This is true for both commercial and Open Source Software (OSS). OSS is popular not only because of its availability, which is usually free but due to the user…

Commit is an important operation of revision control for open-source software (OSS). Recent research has been pursued to explore the statistical laws of such an operation, but few of those papers conduct empirical investigations on commit…

Modern communication platforms such as Gitter and Slack play an increasingly critical role in supporting software teamwork, especially in open source development.Conversations on such platforms often contain intensive, valuable information…

Code review is central to software engineering education but hard to scale in capstone projects due to tight deadlines, uneven peer feedback, and limited prior experience. We investigate an LLM-as-reviewer integrated directly into GitHub…

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) facilitates content production and enhances ideation capabilities, which can significantly influence developer productivity and participation in software development. To explore its impact on…

Background. Pull requests are a common practice for contributing and reviewing contributions, and are employed both in open-source and industrial contexts. One of the main goals of code reviews is to find defects in the code, allowing…

Prompting is central to interaction with AI systems, yet many users struggle to explore alternative directions, articulate creative intent, or understand how variations in prompts shape model outputs. We introduce prompt recommender systems…

Gender diversity in open source software development continues to be a topic of growing interest among researchers, practitioners, and organizations. To date, research has revealed disparities in participation between developers on the…

With the urgent need to secure supply chains among Open Source libraries, attention has focused on mitigating vulnerabilities detected in these libraries. Although awareness has improved recently, most studies still report delays in the…

Projects on GitHub rely on the automation provided by software development bots to uphold quality and alleviate developers' workload. Nevertheless, the presence of bots can be annoying and disruptive to the community. Backed by multiple…

Newcomers to a software project must overcome many barriers before they can successfully place their first code contribution, and they often struggle to find information that is relevant to them. In this work, we argue that much of the…
