Abstract

Resilience engineering (RE) is most commonly applied at the organisational level, and has historically been associated with safety-critical industries such as nuclear, medical or aviation. This paper explores the application of RE frameworks within software engineering, and investigates resilient performance of the socio-technical system that supports the creation of software. We present a preliminary study based on a secondary analysis of data from previous ethnographic studies of commercial software practice. This analysis uses an RE framework devised for small team practice in safety critical settings. We present and discuss three salient episodes of software practice that illustrate the application of RE principles to software engineering, and suggest how this kind of analysis may benefit software engineering. We present challenges and opportunities based on our experience and propose future research directions.

软件工程中社会技术弹性的核算

弹性工程(RE)最常应用于组织层面，并且历来与核、医疗或航空等安全关键行业相关。本文探讨了可再生能源框架在软件工程中的应用，并研究了支持软件创建的社会技术系统的弹性性能。我们提出了一个初步的研究基于二次分析数据从以前的商业软件实践的民族志研究。该分析使用了为安全关键设置中的小团队实践设计的RE框架。我们提出并讨论了软件实践中三个突出的片段，说明了可再生原则在软件工程中的应用，并建议这种分析如何使软件工程受益。我们根据经验提出了挑战和机遇，并提出了未来的研究方向。
