Assignment Proposal

Title

A Case Study of Developer Bots: Motivations, Perceptions, and Challenges

Names and KTH ID

Deadline

Category

Description

The paper examines 23 developer bots used in Microsoft's CI/CD workflows, aiding thousands of developers across 13,000 repositories. These bots, categorized into configuration, security, data privacy, productivity, and code quality, help automate tasks and provide early feedback to developer actions; through interviews, surveys, as well as the analysis of hundreds of thousands of bot actions, the authors' study explores the motivations, benefits and challenges of using these bots, such as managing excessive feedback (noise), among others.

Relevance

The study in hand is highly relevant to DevOps, examining how developer bots automate tasks in CI/CD pipelines to improve code quality, productivity, among other key goals of the area. Besides delineating how these bots streamline workflows and support the "shift left" approach, the paper also highlights core challenges: managing multiple bots, and prioritizing feedback, critical for maintaining efficiency in large-scale environments.

@randomicecube Hi Diogo, thanks for the proposal, could you add a link to the paper in the PR's description as well as the README? Thanks!

@javierron Hey Javier, we have now linked the paper on both places. I don't think the paper's publicly acessible generally though (we got the PDF from KTH's online library) -- is the current link okay, or should we switch it to KTH's lib, for instance?

@randomicecube That works, thanks!
