Final Thesis: A Model of Code Review Practices – A Qualitative Multiple Case Study on Code Review in Open Source
Abstract: Code review is nowadays viewed as a crucial part of every software project. Benefits, efficiency and effectivity are therefore often the center of attention when looking at these processes. Beside this, the question arises how in a setting like open source software development code review is even formally defined and expected to be done. This […]

Final Thesis: Text Mining for Relationship Extraction
Abstract: Qualitative Data Analysis (QDA) methods are based on manual coding of texts. To extract a domain model from a text corpus using QDA, information has to be extracted and compiled into the domain model by hand. This is especially a problem for cases where large amounts of data have to be analyzed. For this purpose, […]

Final Thesis: Towards Offline Support for Restful Applications
Abstract: Representational State Transfer (REST) is an efficient and by now established architectural style for distributed hypermedia systems. However, REST has not been designed for more than short-term offline operations, yet many applications must keep functioning when going offline for more than a few seconds. Burdening the application with knowledge about offline status is undesirable.

Final Thesis: How Open Source Foundations Handle Conflicting Interests in Company-Started Projects
Abstract: As Open Source Software has become nearly ubiquitous, more and more companies have started to open up the code of their products. Even more radical, some of them donated their projects to independent nonprofit foundations, thus giving up control while effectively inviting their competitors to participate. Consequently, these projects are subject to numerous commercial interests. […]

Final Thesis: A Theory of Problems and Solutions in German/Chinese and American/Chinese Software Engineering Collaborations
Abstract: Global software development projects are rapidly increasing due to the globalization of the software industry. However, 69% of cross-regional projects fail completely or partially, because of the lack of cross cultural understanding. This thesis presents a qualitative study of the impact of cultural differences on Global Software Development (GSD). We show a theory of problems […]

Final Thesis: Open Source Licenses and Project Growth
Abstract: What license to choose or change? That’s a question many open source projects will face at least once. Besides philosophical reasons to favor one type of license over another there is the concern whether the chosen license has an impact on the project’s success. But does the license really matter that much regarding the latter? […]
