During the refactoring process of smelly test code, practitioners may struggle to identify refactoring candidates and define and apply corrective strategies. This paper reports on an empirical study aimed at understanding how test smells and test refactorings are discussed on the Stack Exchange network. Developers commonly count on Stack Exchange to pick the brains of the wise, i.e., to ‘look up’ how others are completing similar tasks. Therefore, in light of data from the Stack Exchange discussion topics, we could examine how developers understand and perceive test smells, the corrective actions they take to handle them, and the challenges they face when refactoring test code aiming to fix test smells. We observed that developers are interested in others’ perceptions and hands-on experience handling test code issues. Besides, there is a clear indication that developers often ask whether test smells or anti-patterns are either good or bad testing practices than code-based refactoring recommendations.","PeriodicalId":120979,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE/ACM 16th International Conference on Cooperative and Human Aspects of Software Engineering (CHASE)","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134193490","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous research acknowledges that event participants have the opportunity to learn new things, meet people, and gain recognition, among other benefits. However, there are few studies exploring the relationship between these events and startups. Basically, these studies report that some projects developed during these events result in startups. This paper aims to explore how startup founders benefit from time-bounded events. We used a qualitative exploratory approach to collecting data through semi-structured interviews with 20 startup founders. The benefits cited by the interviewees include the development of new products, raising money, gaining visibility, and identifying opportunities for action, learning and networking. In particular, learning can be divided into many types, including learning about software development and business methodologies, new tools, and soft skills. Networking can benefit startups by allowing them to identify founders, partners, customers, and employees. Our results suggest that participation in time-bounded collaborative events helps startup founders to satisfy some of the needs of their startups. We conclude by presenting recommendations for event organizers.","PeriodicalId":120979,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE/ACM 16th International Conference on Cooperative and Human Aspects of Software Engineering (CHASE)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125653636","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Developers learn about new projects, and evaluate their quality and importance by accessing the related information. Social media is an important channel for information diffusion about open-source projects, with previous research suggesting the existence of a social media ecosystem that consists of multiple platforms and collectively supports information diffusion in open source.With different features supporting information diffusion, the same piece of information likely reaches different developer communities on different platforms, which attracts the attention and contribution of different developers and thus influences the success of open-source projects. Despite its importance, few works looked at the identity of the developer community that project-related information reaches on social media platforms and its associated impact on the discussed project.In this work, we track social media discussions on open-source projects on three different platforms: Twitter, HackerNews, and Reddit. We first describe the dynamics of project-related information diffusion across platforms, and we analyze the association between the number of posts on each platform, and the number of developers attracted to the discussed project from different communities. We find that posts about open-source projects first appear on Twitter and HackerNews, then move more towards Reddit. The number of project-related posts on Twitter mostly associate with the attracted developers from communities that are close to the project’s main contributor, while posts on other platforms associate more with the attention from remote communities.","PeriodicalId":120979,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE/ACM 16th International Conference on Cooperative and Human Aspects of Software Engineering (CHASE)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117314584","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Indeed, internal attributes can become critical if their measurements assume anomalous values. Yet, current knowledge is scarce on how developers perceive the relevance of critical internal attributes while evolving features. This qualitative study investigates the developers’ perception of the relevance of critical internal attributes when evolving features. We target six class-level critical attributes: low cohesion, high complexity, high coupling, large hierarchy depth, large hierarchy breadth, and large size. We performed two industrial case studies based on online focus group sessions. Developers discussed how much (and why) critical attributes are relevant when adding or enhancing features. We assessed the relevance of critical attributes individually and relatively, the reasons behind the relevance of each critical attribute, and the interrelations of critical attributes. Low cohesion and high complexity were perceived as very relevant because they often make evolving features hard while tracking failures and adding features. The other critical attributes were perceived as less relevant when reusing code or adopting design patterns. An example of perceived interrelation is high complexity leading to high coupling.","PeriodicalId":120979,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE/ACM 16th International Conference on Cooperative and Human Aspects of Software Engineering (CHASE)","volume":"178 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122591318","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Emotional needs can be captured as emotional requirements that represent how the end user should feel when using the system. Differently from functional and quality (non-functional) requirements, emotional requirements have received relatively less attention from the RE community. This study is motivated by the need to explore and map the literature on emotional requirements. The study applies the systematic mapping study technique for surveying and analyzing the available literature to identify the most relevant publications on emotional requirements. We identified 34 publications that address a wide spectrum of practices concerned with engineering emotional requirements. The identified publications were analyzed with respect to the application domains, instruments used for eliciting and artefacts used for representing emotional requirements, and the state of the practice in emotion-related requirements engineering. This analysis serves to identify research gaps and research directions in engineering emotional requirements. To the best of the knowledge by the authors, no other similar study has been conducted on emotional requirements.","PeriodicalId":120979,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE/ACM 16th International Conference on Cooperative and Human Aspects of Software Engineering (CHASE)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132429682","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In general, women are under-represented on these teams and face challenges and difficulties in their workplaces. When it comes to women who are mothers, these challenges can be amplified and directly impact these women’s professional lives, both in industry and academia. However, little is known about women ICT practitioners’ perceptions of the challenges of maternity in their professional careers. Objective: This paper investigates mothers’ challenges and difficulties in global software development teams. Method: We conducted a survey with women in the ICT field who work in academia and global technology companies. We surveyed 141 mothers from different countries and employed mixed methods to analyze the data. Results: Our findings reveal that women face sociocultural challenges, including work-life balance issues, bad jokes, and moral harassment. The prejudices they suffer make them insecure and with low confidence in the work performed. Furthermore, they usually do not have a supporting network during and after maternity leave, which culminates in them feeling overloaded. The surveyed women suggested a set of actions to reduce the challenges they face in their workplaces, such as: creating a code of conduct for men and childcare within companies. Conclusion: Women face many challenges when they become mothers. Our findings explore these challenges and can help organizations in developing policies to minimize them. Also, it can help raise awareness of co-workers and bosses, toward a more friendly and inclusive workplace.","PeriodicalId":120979,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE/ACM 16th International Conference on Cooperative and Human Aspects of Software Engineering (CHASE)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121958240","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
