从灰色文献中检索和挖掘软件实践专业经验的探索性综述
Retrieving and mining professional experience of software practice from grey literature: an exploratory review
摘要:
背景资料:检索和挖掘从业人员的自我报告,他们的专业经验的软件实践可以提供有价值的证据进行研究。然而,我们不知道在这一领域进行的任何现有的研究审查。目的:回顾和分类以前的研究,并确定深入的挑战时,检索和挖掘从业人员的自我报告,他们的经验,软件实践的研究所面临的。方法:我们进行了一个探索性的审查,以确定和分类42篇文章。我们分析了这些文章的选择,以了解采矿专业经验的挑战。结果:我们只找到了一篇直接相关的文章。即使如此,本文关注的是软件专业人员的情感体验,而不是软件实践中发生的行为和事件的专业报告。我们讨论的挑战涉及:专业经验的普遍性;定义、模型和理论;数据的稀疏性;话语分析的单位;注释者协议;算法性能的评估;以及缺乏复制。结论:在这一领域似乎没有进行直接相关的先前研究。我们讨论了在二级研究中报告阴性结果的价值。有一系列的研究机会,但也有相当大的挑战。我们制定了一套指导性的问题,在这一领域的进一步研究。
英文摘要:
Background: Retrieving and mining practitioners' self--reports of their professional experience of software practice could provide valuable evidence for research. We are, however, unaware of any existing reviews of research conducted in this area. Objective: To review and classify previous research, and to identify insights into the challenges research confronts when retrieving and mining practitioners' self-reports of their experience of software practice. Method: We conduct an exploratory review to identify and classify 42 articles. We analyse a selection of those articles for insights on challenges to mining professional experience. Results: We identify only one directly relevant article. Even then this article concerns the software professional's emotional experiences rather than the professional's reporting of behaviour and events occurring during software practice. We discuss challenges concerning: the prevalence of professional experience; definitions, models and theories; the sparseness of data; units of discourse analysis; annotator agreement; evaluation of the performance of algorithms; and the lack of replications. Conclusion: No directly relevant prior research appears to have been conducted in this area. We discuss the value of reporting negative results in secondary studies. There are a range of research opportunities but also considerable challenges. We formulate a set of guiding questions for further research in this area.
