Sentiment Overflow in the Testing Stack: Analysing Software Testing Posts on Stack Overflow
AI总结:
本文通过挖掘和分析Stack Overflow上的情感帖子,从从业者角度调查软件测试背景,发现不安全感、绝望和渴望等情感会影响其对测试的态度,并与项目复杂度等因素相关。
摘要:
软件测试是现代软件工程实践不可或缺的一部分。过去的研究不仅强调了它的重要性,还揭示了其多面性。软件测试的实践及其采用受到超越工具或技术的许多因素的影响。本文旨在通过挖掘和分析广泛使用的问答网站Stack Overflow上的情感帖子,从从业者的角度调查软件测试的背景。通过定性分析从业者的情感表达(我们使用情感分析工具从Stack Overflow数据集中提取这些表达),我们识别出了一些因素,这些因素有助于我们更好地理解软件工程师在软件测试方面的真实体验。基于我们分析的数据,我们认为,不安全感、绝望和渴望等情感会影响从业者对测试的态度。我们建议,这些情感与软件测试实践中项目复杂度水平等具体因素有关。
英文摘要:
Software testing is an integral part of modern software engineering practice. Past research has not only underlined its significance, but also revealed its multi-faceted nature. The practice of software testing and its adoption is influenced by many factors that go beyond tools or technology. This paper sets out to investigate the context of software testing from the practitioners' point of view by mining and analyzing sentimental posts on the widely used question and answer website Stack Overflow. By qualitatively analyzing sentimental expressions of practitioners, which we extract from the Stack Overflow dataset using sentiment analysis tools, we discern factors that help us to better understand the lived experience of software engineers with regards to software testing. Grounded in the data that we have analyzed, we argue that sentiments like insecurity, despair and aspiration, have an impact on practitioners' attitude towards testing. We suggest that they are connected to concrete factors like the level of complexity of projects in which software testing is practiced.
