摘要

软件不断发展。它的行为必须由执行日常开发和维护任务的工程师验证。然而，尽管它非常重要，验证不断发展的软件的信息需求还没有在工业环境中系统地研究过。这种经验知识的缺乏阻碍了理解这一基本实践和改进相应工具支持的尝试。本文对Google的194名站点可靠性工程师(SREs)进行了一项研究，以探讨他们的信息需求。结果提出了几个方向，软件工程研究人员可以考虑投入精力开发对实践者重要的新技术和工具支持。

Information Needs for Validating Evolving Software Systems: An Exploratory Study at Google

Software evolves continuously. Its behavior must be validated by engineers who perform daily development and maintenance tasks. However, despite its high importance, information needs for validating evolving software has not been systematically studied in an industrial setting. Such lack of empirical knowledge hinders attempts to understand this fundamental practice and improve the corresponding tool support. This paper presents a study on 194 Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) at Google to explore their information needs. The results suggest several directions where software engineering researchers may consider putting effort to develop new techniques and tool support that matter to practitioners.
