摘要

软件机器人连接用户和工具，简化了社交编码平台上的拉取请求审查过程。然而，聊天机器人会给开发者的交流带来信息过载。信息过载对新手来说尤其成问题，他们仍在探索项目，可能会被大量的信息压垮。受其他领域文献的启发，我们设计并评估了FunnelBot，这是一个在开发人员和存储库中的其他机器人之间充当中介的机器人。我们对25名新人进行了一项主题内研究，以了解他们的看法和偏好。我们的研究结果为机器人开发者提供了见解，他们想要减少噪音，创造机器人来支持新手，为设计更好的机器人奠定了基础。

Together or Apart? Investigating a mediator bot to aggregate bot’s comments on pull requests

Software bots connect users and tools, streamlining the pull request review process in social coding platforms. However, bots can introduce information overload into developers’ communication. Information overload is especially problematic for newcomers, who are still exploring the project and may feel overwhelmed by the number of messages. Inspired by the literature of other domains, we designed and evaluated FunnelBot, a bot that acts as a mediator between developers and other bots in the repository. We conducted a within-subject study with 25 newcomers to capture their perceptions and preferences. Our results provide insights for bot developers who want to mitigate noise and create bots for supporting newcomers, laying a foundation for designing better bots.
