Abstract

Software Inspection is an important approach to find defects in Software Engineering (SE) artifacts. While there has been extensive research on traditional software inspection with pen-and-paper materials, modern SE poses new environments, methods, and tools for the cooperation of software engineers. Technologies, such as Human Computation (HC), provide tool support for distributed and tool-mediated work processes. However, there is little empirical experience on how to leverage HC for software inspection. In this vision paper, we present the context for a research program on this topic and introduce the preliminary concept of a theory-based ex-periment line to facilitate designing experiment families that fit together to answer larger questions than individual experiments. We present an example feature model for an experiment line for Soft-ware Inspection with Human Computation and discuss its expected benefits for the research program, including the coordination of research, design and material reuse, and aggregation facilities.

一条人工计算的软件检测实验线

软件检查是在软件工程(SE)工件中发现缺陷的重要方法。传统的软件检查使用纸笔材料进行了广泛的研究，而现代的SE为软件工程师的合作提供了新的环境、方法和工具。人类计算(Human Computation, HC)等技术为分布式和工具中介的工作过程提供了工具支持。然而，关于如何利用HC进行软件检查的经验很少。在这篇愿景论文中，我们提出了关于这一主题的研究计划的背景，并介绍了基于理论的实验线的初步概念，以促进设计适合一起回答比单个实验更大的问题的实验家族。本文给出了一个人工计算软件检测实验线的特征模型示例，并讨论了其对研究项目的预期效益，包括研究协调、设计和材料重用以及聚合设施。
