Software comprehension in code-centric and model-driven settings: an experimental comparison of models and code

It is demonstrated that models and code achieve comparable overall correctness, and thus models alone may be sufficient in model-centric scenarios where access to code is limited or unavailable, and a consistent structure-behavior comprehension gap is revealed.

How developer coreness influences the patch-review process: A mixed-method study

Developer coreness, a continuous proxy measure of experience that measures how important and connected a developer is within a project, is used to measure the impact of developer coreness on code integration processes of popular OSS projects and shows that developers with higher coreness values have a higher probabilit...

GROUND: An Actionable Model for Overcoming Challenges in Grounded Theory

Grounded Theory (GT) is widely used in Information Systems (IS) research, yet there are many challenges in following the methodology, particularly for novice researchers. While prior work has extensively described challenges, concrete and practice-oriented solutions remain underdeveloped. This study addresses this gap...

Towards a Code-Based Assessment of Computational Thinking Skills

Computational thinking (CT) skills are central to higher-education programming, yet assessing them at scale is challenging. Automated source-code analysis is a promising path, but its validity at university level is still poorly understood. We examined how far code-based metrics can capture traces of two CT skills: abs...

Framework for Understanding Design Heuristics and Sources of Bias in New Product Development

Product development, whether incremental or radical, is inherently complex and uncertain, requiring rational decision-making by product designers to enable effective ideation. However, heuristics (or mental shortcuts) often impact this decision-making process, introducing cognitive biases that can significantly impact...
