Poster: A Multi-year Analysis of Students' Build Errors in Agile Software Development Educational Projects

Team exercises for software development project-based learning (SDPBL) adopting an agile development model have become popular for training and education worldwide. In the agile development model, an essential part is the build process. In this study, we investigated students' build errors in agile SDPBL projects by monitoring and collecting logs of the build process from 2013 to 2016. From 2013 to 2015, we categorized the build errors and then discussed the resolutions for each types of build errors. In 2016, the instructors modified the SDPBL project the build error types and corresponding cause and resolution. As the result, in 2016, the number of build errors and the time required to solve the build errors decreased compared to previous years.
