Bug Tracking

Drawing on social network theories and previous studies, this research examines the dynamics of social network structures in open source software (OSS) teams. Three projects were selected from SourceForge.net in terms of their similarities as well as their differences. Monthly data were extracted from the bug tracking systems in order to achieve a longitudinal view of the interaction pattern of each project. Social network analysis was used to generate the indices of social structure. The finding suggests that the interaction pattern of OSS projects evolves from a single hub at the beginning to a core/periphery model as the projects move forward.

Past Experiences

Although agile development promises better customer response and quality, not all who attempt agile seem to get such desired results. The issue is context – understanding the context in which agile is being adopted and choosing the right practices. Our research question is how agile-coaches can best elicit and communicate the agile adoption context with development teams and organizations. In this paper, we propose capturing and describing agile adoption context visually using a set of architectural views. This is analogous to describing architectures, but now applied to the context of agile adoption. We propose a set of views and applied it in the agile adoption of a company's internal social network system (SNS). Our experiences taught us that context evolves as agile coaches interact with development organization and teams, and the context description evolves and converges to the team's desired way of working after the agile coach leaves the scene. It is also the basis for drawing upon past experiences and building experiences for the next agile adoption engagement.

Comparative Case Studies

Social network diagrams have been an important part of understanding social dynamics from dyads all the way to human civilizations. In e-learning, social networks have been used to evaluate how online learners engage with each other and what the implications of that may be for the quality of learning. In this chapter, social networks are used to evaluate various social aspects of the development teams in their work. A number of contemporary Instructional Design (ID) projects, described briefly as comparative case studies in the chapter, are used as the contexts for these social networks and visualizations. While these depictions tend to be systemic-level ones, there are insights from considering the micro/ego-level views. The objectives of this chapter are to introduce one approach to the uses of social network visualizations in analyzing the internal and external social dynamics of instructional design across a number of institutions of higher education.

In the present study we link self-report-data on personality to behavior recorded on the mobile phone. This new approach from Psychoinformatics collects data from humans in everyday life. It demonstrates the fruitful collaboration between psychology and computer science, combining Big Data with psychological variables. Given the large number of variables, which can be tracked on a smartphone, the present study focuses on the traditional features of mobile phones – namely incoming and outgoing calls and SMS. We observed N = 49 participants with respect to the telephone/SMS usage via our custom developed mobile phone app for 5 weeks. Extraversion was positively associated with nearly all related telephone call variables. In particular, Extraverts directly reach out to their social network via voice calls.
