Hi. We developed a web application to investigate ways to improve code review. If you have javascript knowledge, please help us by participating in this 20-30min experiment: review.ifi.uzh.ch To thank you, we will donate 5 USD to the charity of your choice.
Great news! Our paper “First come first served: the impact of file position on code review” (arxiv.org/pdf/2208.04259…) was selected as one of the distinguished papers at FSE 2022! 🎉🎉🎉 Congrats and thanks to all the authors @larissabrazb @marquitodambros @GulCalikli @sback_
I am grateful the Swiss Research Magazine Horizons chose to write about our study. Novice reviewers required step-by-step checklist aid in simpler code reviews but needed more autonomy to perform better in a complex review. horizons-mag.ch/2022/09/01/che… @EnFregnan @sback_ @tb_luh
What a nice way to end the week! Our paper “An Exploratory Study on Regression Vulnerabilities “ has been accepted at @ESEM_conf ! Congrats to @EnFregnan @_VivekArora_ and @sback_ !! 🎊🎊
Amazing news, our paper "First Come First Served: The Impact of File Position on Code Review" has been accepted at FSE! Congrats to all the authors @larissabrazb @GulCalikli @marquitodambros and @sback_ ) A short summary of the paper in the thread below😁
Alberto Bacchelli (@sback_) presenting “Code Review Effectiveness: How code review works (and doesn’t) in the real world), see: neverworkintheory.org
Hi! We are doing an experiment to improve code review. If you develop in Java, please consider taking part in it. In the experiment we will ask you do to one code review. You can access the experiment here: campanella.ifi.uzh.ch To thank you, we will donate 5 USD to charity!
Hi!! We are investigating ways to improve code review. If you are a developer with code review experience, please help us by participating in this survey: uzhwwf.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6L… To thank you, we will donate 2 USD to a charity of your choice!
In 2019-21, we run several studies, only possible with the contribution of many participants. To thank them, we offered to make donations to nonprofit orgs. Thanks to their contributions, these orgs received more than 3,400 USD! More thanks and details: ifi.uzh.ch/dam/jcr:130254…
Hey! We at @sealuzh and @ZESTuzh are looking for new Ph.D. students and postdocs for a range of software engineering topics in the UZH Software Lab at the University of Zurich. If you are interested, you find more information here: t.uzh.ch/1g9
Our paper Interpersonal Conflicts During Code Review - Developers’ Experience and Practices got accepted at CSCW! The article will be available at the beginning of the year. Thanks for the collaboration, @GulCalikli, and @sback_!
Our paper “Supporting Developers in Vulnerability Detection during Code Review” has been accepted at @ICSEconf!! Congrats @Abendmusic @sback_ and @GulCalikli 🎉🎉🎉 Preprint will be available soon!! Replication package and abstract can be found here: figshare.com/s/9d3f928c1e62…
We are still looking for participants! If you have some Java knowledge please consider participating in our experiment: campanella.ifi.uzh.ch We will donate 5 USD to a non-profit organization on your behalf!
I am looking for software developers who are currently doing code reviews. Please, consider participating in our survey about skills needed for efficient code reviews. Thank you! uzh.ch/zi/cl/umfragen… In collaboration with @GulCalikli @aserebrenik and @sback_
Hi there! If you know Java and are willing to invest 20min in the science to improve code review, please participate in our experiment: campanella.ifi.uzh.ch We will donate 5 USD to a non-profit organization on your behalf!
