开发人员的信念与现实:提交大小分布的案例

Developer Belief vs. Reality: The Case of the Commit Size Distribution

Dirk Riehle, Carsten Kolassa, Michel A. Salim

摘要:

软件开发工具的设计遵循这些工具的开发人员对软件开发的信念。这种信念的一个关键方面是对软件项目的代码贡献(提交)的大小。在本文中,我们表明,工具开发人员认为是真实的代码贡献的大小是不同的,从现实中超过一个数量级。我们为开源和选定的闭源项目的大样本呈现了这个现实,称为提交大小分布。我们认为,这些新的经验性的见解将有助于提高软件开发工具,调整基本的设计假设更接近现实。

英文摘要:

The design of software development tools follows from what the developers of such tools believe is true about software development. A key aspect of such beliefs is the size of code contributions (commits) to a software project. In this paper, we show that what tool developers think is true about the size of code contributions is different by more than an order of magnitude from reality. We present this reality, called the commit size distribution, for a large sample of open source and selected closed source projects. We suggest that these new empirical insights will help improve software development tools by aligning underlying design assumptions closer with reality.
