Date: 27th and 28th November 2017

Venue: Friends House, 173-177 Euston Road, London NW1 2BJ

Overview:

Code Review has become a widely accepted approach to continuously ensure the quality of software undergoing changes. It is used both in industry and open source software development and has transformed over the past decade to a change-focused process that is deeply integrated with continuous integration and inspection. While continuous integration and inspection is a fully automated process to ensure quality, code review relies on humans. New approaches feed the results of static and dynamic analysis during continuous integration to reviewers in order to support them in their reviewing task. Moreover, the additional information available through code review repositories has enabled researchers to study day-to-day software development, for example, by studying the motivation and discussions on proposed changes.

This workshop will bring together world leading researchers and practitioners interested in code review and continuous inspection/integration. The aim is to discuss the latest achievements in analysing and understanding commits and code reviews, and how commit and code review repositories help to analyse general software engineering problems.
