Open-source software (OSS) projects rely on effective newcomer onboarding to sustain their communities. OSS projects widely adopt "good first issue" (GFI) labels to highlight beginner-friendly tasks. …
Microservice-based systems impose significant organizational coordination challenges, yet the role of individual developers in shaping organizational coupling (OC) remains underexplored. Prior work la…
This is the authors response to commentaries on the original article H is for Human and How (Not) to Evaluate Qualitative Research in HCI, https://doi.org/10.1080/07370024.2025.2475743 Commentaries we…
Automated code review (ACR) bots are increasingly used in industrial software development to assist developers during pull request (PR) review. As adoption grows, a key challenge is how to evaluate th…
Autonomous coding agents are reshaping software development by creating pull requests (PRs) on GitHub, referred to as agentic PRs. In parallel, the review process is also becoming autonomous, thereby …
Migration guides are a form of software documentation that helps developers address breaking changes introduced in library version updates. Prior studies have examined documents such as release notes,…
Code review is central to software engineering education but hard to scale in capstone projects due to tight deadlines, uneven peer feedback, and limited prior experience. We investigate an LLM-as-rev…
Automated testing is crucial for maintaining open-source software quality. However, motivating contributors to include tests for code changes remains a challenge. While existing interventions, such as…
Open source projects depend on newcomers who stay, yet most leave after a single contribution. Contribution events such as Google Summer of Code, LFX Mentorship, Hacktoberfest, and 24 Pull Requests at…
This article applies postphenomenological theory to the field of cybersecurity risk management, arguing that formal risk models function as mediating artifacts that shape how security practitioners or…
Recent years have experienced growing contributions of AI coding agents that assist human developers in various software engineering tasks. However, this growing AI-assisted autonomy raises questions …
Mixed reality systems support shared anchors and co-located interaction, yet they lack a socially legible protocol for entering another person's mixed reality in public settings. We frame this as a pr…
Continuous Integration and Deployment (CI/CD) workflows are central to modern software delivery, yet the reliability of agentic AI bots operating within these workflows remain underexplored. Using pul…
As AI-assisted development tools proliferate, developers face a growing challenge: understanding the cost, quality, and behavioral patterns of AI interactions across their workflow. We present a unifi…
Modern software engineers operate across 5-10 disconnected tools daily: GitHub, GitLab, Jira, Slack, calendar applications, CI dashboards, AI coding assistants, and container platforms. This fragmenta…
We study a variant of a polygon partition problem, introduced by Chung, Iwama, Liao, and Ahn [ISAAC'25]. Given orthogonal unit vectors $\mathbf{u},\mathbf{v}\in \mathbb{R}^2$ and a polygon $P$ with $n…
Toxic interactions during code reviews can undermine teamwork and hinder productivity in software engineering (SE) teams. While prior studies explore toxicity detection and empirical investigation, th…
Understanding the reasons behind past code changes is critical for many software engineering tasks, including refactoring and reviewing code, diagnosing bugs, and implementing new features. Unfortunat…
Software logging is essential for maintaining and debugging complex systems, yet it remains unclear how AI coding agents handle this non-functional requirement. While prior work characterizes human lo…
Software redesign preserves functionality while improving quality attributes, but manual reuse of code and tests is costly and error-prone, especially in crossrepository redesigns. Focusing on static …
