Mining for Process Improvements: Analyzing Software Repositories in Agile Retrospectives
Software Repositories contain knowledge on how software engineering teams
work, communicate, and collaborate. It can be used to develop a data-informed
view of a team's development process, which in turn can be employed for process
improvement initiatives. In modern, Agile development methods, process
improvement takes place in Retrospective meetings, in which the last
development iteration is discussed. However, previously proposed activities
that take place in these meetings often do not rely on project data, instead
depending solely on the perceptions of team members. We propose new
Retrospective activities, based on mining the software repositories of
individual teams, to complement existing approaches with more objective,
data-informed process views.Comment: In IEEE/ACM 42nd International Conference on Software Engineering
