The Agile methodology is a new trend in software development. Nowadays enterprises have been adopting the agile methodology in an effort to deal effectively with rapidly changing user requirements. In most cases, much improvement was accomplished in the software development. Some studies have mentioned that the motivation of software developers is a contributing factor on the improvement. However, it is not known yet what aspects of the agile methodology get them to be motivated. The aims of this study are the comparison between the traditional methodologies and agile methodology and look into potential motivation of software developer and their jobcharacteristics. For the empirical analyzing, research data were collected by 77 developers of 4 domestic IT companies. The analysis shows that there is significant differences on developer's potential motivation according to what kind of methodology is used. Agile developers to be more motivated than others methodologies developers. It also shows in detail that what kinds of job characteristics of developer are different among them depending on methodologies.

This research focus on the effect of developers' participation structure in knowledge creation and knowledge sharing activities in open source software development projects. Based on preferential selection theory, hypotheses of relationship between a developers' concentration of knowledge creation/sharing activities and collaboration performance was derived. To verify the hypotheses, we use the Gini coefficient in the commit contribution of the developers (knowledge creation) and the centralization index in the repository issue network (knowledge sharing network). Using social network analysis, this paper calculates centralization index from developers in the issue boards in each repository based on data from 837 repositories in GitHub, a leading open source software development platform. As a result, instead of all developers creating and sharing knowledge equally, only a few of developers creating and sharing knowledge intensively further improve the performance of the open collaboration. In other words, a few developers predominantly providing commit and actively responding to issues raised from other developers enhance the project performance. The results of this study are expected to be used by developers who manage open source software project as a governance strategy, which could improve the performance of open collaboration.

IEC 62304 is a standard for the medical device software lifecycle. Developers must develop software that complies with all specifications in the standard for licensing. However, because the standard contains not only a large number of specifications, but also domain-specific information and association relationships between specifications, it requires considerable effort and time for developers to understand and interpret the standard. To support developers, this paper presents a method for extracting the contents of the IEC 62304 standard as a goal model, which is the core methodologies of requirements engineering. The proposed method analyzes the grammar of the standard to robustly extract complex structures and various information from standard specifications and define rules that extract goals and links from syntactic element units. We validated the actual extraction process for the standard document experimentally. Based on the extracted goal model, developers can intuitively and efficiently comply with the standard and track specific information within the medical software and standard domains.

소프트웨어 재사용이란 새로운 소프트웨어를 개발할 때 처음부터 모든 것을 새로 개발하는 것이 아니라 기존에 개발 된 재사용 가능한 자산을 활용하여 개발하는 개념이다. 기존 자산들은 다른 개발자에 의해 다른 목적으로 개발되었으므로 개발자들은 이러한 자산을 올바르게 재사용함에 있어서 어려움에 직면할 수 있다. 이러한 어려움에 직면했을 때 개발자들은 도움을 얻기 위하여 그 자산들과 관련된 적절한 지식이나 과거 유사한 어려움을 겪었던 개발자로부터의 정보를 얻고자 하는 경향이 있다. 따라서 개발 도메인 전문가나 다른 개발자의 지난 경험은 소프트웨어 자산 재사용 시의 참고자료로서 중요한 역할을 할 수 있다. 재사용 관련 지식은 같거나 유사한 문제나 어려움을 해결함에 있어서 시간과 노력을 줄일 수 있게 도와주고, 이미 여러 번의 재사용으로 검증된 자산을 이용할 수 있게 해 줌으로써 재사용의 위험요소 또한 줄일 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 재사용 관련 지식의 표현 모델을 제시하고, 지식의 협력적인 공유 및 증식을 용이하게 하기 위한 소프트웨어 재사용 위키의 아키텍처 및 프로토타입을 설명한다. 또한 재사용 관련 지식 모델과 그에 따른 관리 방법의 효과를 검증하기 위해 재사용 문제해결에 관한 검증 계획을 설명한다. 본 연구를 통해 개발자들의 참여를 유도하여 재사용 관련 지식의 효과적인 공유 및 증식이 가능하고, 정형화되고 체계적인 저장 및 관리를 통해 재사용 문제 해결에 도움을 줄 수 있으리라 기대한다.

Selection of a suitable task from the extensively available large set of tasks is an intricate job for the developers in crowdsourcing software development (CSD). Besides, it is also a tiring and a time-consuming job for the platform to evaluate thousands of tasks submitted by developers. Previous studies stated that managerial and technical aspects have prime importance in bringing success for software development projects, however, these two aspects can be more effective and conducive if combined with human aspects. The main purpose of this paper is to present a conceptual framework for task assignment model for future research on the basis of personality types, that will provide a basic structure for CSD workers to find suitable tasks and also a platform to assign the task directly. This will also match their personality and task. Because personality is an internal force which whittles the behavior of developers. Consequently, this research presented a Task Assignment Model (TAM) from a developers point of view, moreover, it will also provide an opportunity to the platform to assign a task to CSD workers according to their personality types directly.

For the rapid development of embedded software, a variety of development tools have been developed. But, the embedded software developers do not use the available tools fluently and do not improve software productivity as expect because there are short of supporting utilization convenience of development tools. In this paper, we suggest a tool of building custom development environment for improving the utilization convenience of embedded software development tools. The custom development environment helps developers to rapid selection and access of appropriate tools required to develop the embedded software on the specific embedded system. In addition, it enables developers to handle the outputs from development tools associatively. Moreover it is very flexible in extension and integration because it's implementation based on Eclipse technology. We also perform the evaluation of our tool and successfully validate the utilization convenience of embedded development tools. Therefore, we expect that this tool enables developers to use the embedded development tools efficiently, and then it help improving embedded software productivity.

Open-source software development projects are well suited for exploring new ideas and acquiring knowledge from developers outside of the project. In this paper, we examine the impact of external developers on innovation in open-source software development from the perspective of organizational learning theory. We examine the roles of external and internal developers, who "explore" and "exploit," respectively, on the innovation performance of 17 691 open-source software development projects whose data is stored in the GitHub platform. The results indicate that a multifaceted strategy, in which the exploitation successfully supports the exploration, is most effective for their success. The results also indicate that the role of exploration decreases after the release of the software.

최근 소프트웨어 규모가 더욱 커지고 복잡해지고 있다. 하루에도 수많은 버그 리포트들이 버그저장소에 전송 되어 개발자들의 업무가 늘어나고 있다. 이러한 버그 리포트들을 적절한 개발자에게 전달하여 빠르고 정확하게 소프트웨어의 결함이 수정되어야 하는데, 많은 버그 리포트들이 적절하지 않는 개발자에게 배정되어 다른 개발자에게 다시 재배정 되는 경우가 빈번하게 일어나고 있다. 이것은 배정자가 전송받은 버그 리포트들을 정확히 이해하지 못했거나, 또는 모든 개발자들의 능력을 바르게 파악하지 못해 발생한다. 이것은 소프트웨어 유지보수에 개발자의 시간과 노력을 많이 필요하게 한다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 본 연구에서는 버그 리포트와 관련된 토픽을 찾아내고, 토픽 내 개발자들의 소셜 네트워크 관계를 분석해서 적절한 개발자를 추천하는 기법을 제안한다. 그리고 공개 소스 프로젝트를 이용한 개발자 추천에 대한 성능비교 실험을 통하여 본 연구에서 제안한 방법이 효과적이라는 것을 보인다.

In software system development, an application interface is the main communication platform between human developers and applications. Interaction in any software application requires human's mental and physical activities. Although software systems have increased drastically in diverse sectors and many forms to quench human's needs and satisfactions, human always concern about the ease in usability of the software application so that it can be easily understood and navigated. Since many software developers still focus on the quantity of contents instead of the quality of the interface from the user's point of view, it is important to address human factors need in the early stage of the design and to continue addressing them during the entire stages of the software design for the persistent support of usability. In this paper, we propose the Modified Prototype Model (MPM), which helps the software designers and developers to design user-friendly software systems with easy-to-navigate interfaces by uncovering human factors in a convenient way. Moreover, we propose methods that assist to identify more human factors regarding software design. In this paper, we also study the implications of the proposed model and the proposed methods.
