Abstract

Human factor has been ignored in many of the existing research, which leads to a superficial understanding of the problems facing practitioners. Large-Scale open source software repositories open an opportunity to do digital archeology of software. Researchers and practitioners could investigate human factors with large quantities of data, which may lead to new insights into current software practices and therefore opportunities to improve software quality and project productivity.
