Software repositories
Goals
“Software repositories such as source control systems, archived communications between project personnel, and defect tracking systems are used to help manage the progress of software projects. Software practitioners and researchers are
recognizing the benefits of mining this information to support the maintenance of software systems, improve software design/reuse, and empirically
validate novel ideas and techniques.” MSR CFPs 2004-2012

RoadmapBroaden goals of MSR
Redefine software repository to include
social media
Explore the impact of social media on software engineering
Suggest how future MSR research may play a role in emerging practices and
software ecosystems

It is the framework which changes with each new technology and not just the picture within the frame. 1955
The medium is the message. 1958The medium is the message. 1958
There are many reasons why most people prefer to live in the age just behind them. It's safer. To live right on the
shooting line, right on the frontier of change, is terrifying. 1970

– But can’t be shared and how they are used varied according to developers’ sophistication with tools

Blogging (1)“Our internal blog (only readable by those at the company) is really a virtual "water cooler". We are expected to blog there at least once a week (spelling and grammar don't matter) just to keep others at the company updated on what we are doing. If you can't find something interesting to say at least once a week, then you're not doing enough interesting work. Blogs are everything from: I hit this really annoying bug, to I completed this new awesome feature.”
(Ian Bull, Software Engineer, EclipseSource)

“As a software developer, you need to learn a lot. It's a constant challenge to keep up with technologies. […] It's the proof that you have that kind of mindset, if you do it [learning, keeping up] anyway in your free time”
“[When] I look at repos around this topic [...], I may be interested in seeing the coder footprint of people that
work in this area [...] their favorite languages, the topics they write code about, what they work on”

Wikis etc...Wikis etc...
• Wikis useful for documentation, requirements engineering, knowledge sharing
• Impact of social networking in software engineering (Codebook, Github) - can also follow software artifacts!
• Crowdsourcing of coding (TopCoder) and testing (e.g. Google’s A/B testing approach)
• End-user involvement in closed, open source and mixed initiative projects
• Community portals in software communities

“On Twitter, I follow a few prominent software developers. For example, Kelly Sommers from Canada, she’s constantly trying new things. I don’t think she ever sleeps. So she’s a great source of inspiration.” (From the Reputation study)

Q1: Towards the “Social Programmer”?• What makes a good developer?
– Ability to write good code… or…– Ability to search for good code and to network? Do social skills matter?
• Can you assess a programmer’s ability independently of the larger community?
![Page 77: Towards the Social Programmer (MSR 2012 Keynote by M. Storey)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052409/541a9d647bef0a107d8b4ca0/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
Q2: Classroom education still relevant? Knowledgeable -> Knowledge-able
http://www.academiccommons.org/commons/essay/knowledgable-knowledge-able, by Michael Wesch

Less than 13% of Wikipedia content is authored by women, fewer than 9% of editors are women
Why does this matter?Less female oriented contentFewer opportunities to gain expertise, build portfolios, reputation
Q3: Gamification and marginalization?

Q4: Information overload?
![Page 80: Towards the Social Programmer (MSR 2012 Keynote by M. Storey)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052409/541a9d647bef0a107d8b4ca0/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
Q5: Impact on design and documentation?
What are the risks of using social media for requirements
gathering/elicitation?
Does the use of social media lead to a
“laissez-faire” documentation approach?
![Page 81: Towards the Social Programmer (MSR 2012 Keynote by M. Storey)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052409/541a9d647bef0a107d8b4ca0/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
Q6: Impact on software quality? Does social media use lead to:Spaghetti code and brittle integrations? More (viral) bugs? Security concerns? Undesirable clones? More license violations? Poor code ownership?
![Page 82: Towards the Social Programmer (MSR 2012 Keynote by M. Storey)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052409/541a9d647bef0a107d8b4ca0/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
Q7: Impact on mining methods?Can mining of social media lead to improved predictions, detections and recommendations?
Challenge!! mining an ecosystem of media!

Mining community takeawaysThe social era in software engineering begs us to ask different kinds of questions
Social media ecosystems as an integral component of software repositories (or vice versa?)
Abundant and exciting mining opportunities! Combine with other research methods
