Concernlines: A Timeline View Of Co-Occurring Concerns, Christoph Treude, Margaret-Anne Storey
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Understanding the evolution of a software system requires understanding how information about the release history, non-functional requirements and project milestones relates to functional requirements on the software components. This short paper describes a new tool, called CONCERNLINES, that supports this cognitive process by visualizing co-occurring concerns over time.
How Tagging Helps Bridge The Gap Between Social And Technical Aspects In Software Development, Christoph Treude, Margaret-Anne Storey
How Tagging Helps Bridge The Gap Between Social And Technical Aspects In Software Development, Christoph Treude, Margaret-Anne Storey
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Empirical research on collaborative software development practices indicates that technical and social aspects of software development are often intertwined. The processes followed are tacit and constantly evolving, thus not all of them are amenable to formal tool support. In this paper, we explore how ldquotaggingrdquo, a lightweight social computing mechanism, is used to bridge the gap between technical and social aspects of managing work items. We present the results from an empirical study on how tagging has been adopted and adapted over the past two years of a large project with 175 developers. Our research shows that the tagging mechanism …
