Reading Task : Selected Papers for 'Backward & Forward Mode'

[akondrahman]

Folks, I have come up with a list of papers for 'Backward Mode' and 'Forward Mode'. Papers in the 'Backward Mode' are highly cited papers published from 2008-2010 and are cited by primary paper of interest. If this list looks good to everyone, we can go ahead and start reading the papers. Note-1: I have excluded papers where Dr. Menzies is an author Note-2: The citation counts are obtained from Google Scholar

Backward Mode

• Benchmarking Classification Models for Software Defect Prediction: A Proposed Framework and Novel Findings, 396 citations
• The influence of organizational structure on software quality: an empirical case study 234 citations
• Does distributed development affect software quality?: an empirical case study of Windows Vista, * 168 citations*
• A systematic and comprehensive investigation of methods to build and evaluate fault prediction models. 148 citations

  Forward Mode

• Think locally, act globally: improving defect and effort prediction models, 41 citations
• Recalling the "imprecision" of cross-project defect prediction, 36 citations
• How, and why, process metrics are better, 30 citations

[akondrahman]

I will take the following for now:

• Think locally, act globally: improving defect and effort prediction models
• The influence of organizational structure on software quality: an empirical case study

:+1: I think we are supposed to go backwards first . :thought_balloon: I am taking the below:

• The influence of organizational structure on software quality: an empirical case study 234 citations
• Does distributed development affect software quality?: an empirical case study of Windows Vista, * 168 citations*

:v:

I will read and summarize the following:

• BACKWARDS:
  • "A systematic and comprehensive investigation of methods to build and evaluate fault prediction models. 148 citations"
• FORWARDS:
  • "How, and why, process metrics are better, 30 citations"

@akondrahman Do these papers have "historical context" for the first paper we read?

[akondrahman]

The backwards papers are all cited by the Ecological Inference paper. I skimmed them briefly and I think they all do.

Awesome! I just watched the video on the read0123456789 post. Wanted to make sure. Thanks! On Sep 7, 2015 1:40 PM, "Akond A. Rahman" notifications@github.com wrote:

It seems that nobody has done the below one: Benchmarking Classification Models for Software Defect Prediction: A Proposed Framework and Novel Findings, 396 citations

[manish211]

I have completed Does distributed development affect software quality?: an empirical case study of Windows Vista. Will do Benchmarking next

[manish211]

Okay. I have completed Benchmarking paper . It is in read/5 folder. Distributed Development is in read/3 folder. :persevere:
