Structured Information on State and Evolution of Dockerfiles on GitHub

Gerald Schermann;Sali Zumberi;Jürgen Cito

2018 IEEE/ACM 15th International Conference on Mining Software Repositories (MSR)
Year: 2018 | Conference Paper |
Docker containers are standardized, self-contained units of applications, packaged with their dependencies and execution environment. The environment is defined in a Dockerfile that specifies the steps to reach a certain system state as infrastructure code, with the aim of enabling reproducible builds of the container. To lay the groundwork for research on infrastructure code, we collected structu...Show More

Search-Based Scheduling of Experiments in Continuous Deployment

Gerald Schermann;Philipp Leitner

2018 IEEE International Conference on Software Maintenance and Evolution (ICSME)
Year: 2018 | Conference Paper |
Cited by: Papers (6)
Continuous experimentation involves practices for testing new functionality on a small fraction of the user base in production environments. Running multiple experiments in parallel requires handling user assignments (i.e., which users are part of which experiments) carefully as experiments might overlap and influence each other. Furthermore, experiments are prone to change, get canceled, or are a...Show More

Continuous Experimentation: Challenges, Implementation Techniques, and Current Research

Gerald Schermann;Jürgen Cito;Philipp Leitner

IEEE Software
Year: 2018 | Volume: 35, Issue: 2 | Magazine Article |
Cited by: Papers (32)
Continuous experimentation is an up-and-coming technique for requirements engineering and testing, particularly for web-based systems. On the basis of a practitioner survey, this article gives an overview of challenges, implementation techniques, and current research in the field. This article is part of a theme issue on release engineering.Show More

A Tale of CI Build Failures: An Open Source and a Financial Organization Perspective

Carmine Vassallo;Gerald Schermann;Fiorella Zampetti;Daniele Romano;Philipp Leitner;Andy Zaidman;Massimiliano Di Penta;Sebastiano Panichella

2017 IEEE International Conference on Software Maintenance and Evolution (ICSME)
Year: 2017 | Conference Paper |
Cited by: Papers (48)
Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Delivery (CD) are widespread in both industrial and open-source software (OSS) projects. Recent research characterized build failures in CI and identified factors potentially correlated to them. However, most observations and findings of previous work are exclusively based on OSS projects or data from a single industrial organization. This paper provides ...Show More

An Empirical Analysis of the Docker Container Ecosystem on GitHub

Jürgen Cito;Gerald Schermann;John Erik Wittern;Philipp Leitner;Sali Zumberi;Harald C. Gall

2017 IEEE/ACM 14th International Conference on Mining Software Repositories (MSR)
Year: 2017 | Conference Paper |
Docker allows packaging an application with its dependencies into a standardized, self-contained unit (a so-called container), which can be used for software development and to run the application on any system. Dockerfiles are declarative definitions of an environment that aim to enable reproducible builds of the container. They can often be found in source code repositories and enable the hosted...Show More

Towards quality gates in continuous delivery and deployment

Gerald Schermann;Jürgen Cito;Philipp Leitner;Harald C. Gall

2016 IEEE 24th International Conference on Program Comprehension (ICPC)
Year: 2016 | Conference Paper |
Cited by: Papers (19)
Quality gates, steps required to ensure the reliability of code changes, are supposed to increase the confidence stakeholders have in a release. In today's fast paced environments, we have less time to perform the necessary precautions to minimize the risk of a faulty release. This leads to an inherent trade-off between risk of lower release quality and time to market. We provide a model for this ...Show More

Discovering Loners and Phantoms in Commit and Issue Data

Gerald Schermann;Martin Brandtner;Sebastiano Panichella;Philipp Leitner;Harald Gall

2015 IEEE 23rd International Conference on Program Comprehension
Year: 2015 | Conference Paper |
Cited by: Papers (19)
The interlinking of commit and issue data has become a de-facto standard in software development. Modern issue tracking systems, such as JIRA, automatically interlink commits and issues by the extraction of identifiers (e.g., Issue key) from commit messages. However, the conventions for the use of interlinking methodologies vary between software projects. For example, some projects enforce the use...Show More

Extending a Peer-Based Coordination Model with Composable Design Patterns

Eva Kühn;Stefan Craß;Gerald Schermann

2015 23rd Euromicro International Conference on Parallel, Distributed, and Network-Based Processing
Year: 2015 | Conference Paper |
Cited by: Papers (2)
Distributed applications require coordination of distributed software components in order to achieve a common goal. A coordination model that abstracts the complexity of network communication eases the development of such applications. The objective is to design collaboration with remote hosts in the same way as local interactions. Separation of coordination logic and application code increases ma...Show More
