Show Notes

[00:01:36] Steffen and Alexander introduce themselves and tell us what they do.

[00:02:29] We learn what SmartSHARK is.

[00:04:39] Alexander tells us where to begin if you want to learn about a repository using SmartSHARK.

[00:09:30] Sean talks about a similar project he’s working on as part of the CHAOSS project.

[00:10:40] Georg wonders what they have learned from the data and how they’ve used it since they’ve collected such a huge pile of data and have metrics on all of that.

[00:12:13] Alexander shares some insights on some of his research findings.

[00:16:17] Alexander explains what he means by static analysis and if the recommendations in the static analysis are language specific.

[00:19:18] Andrea wonders how Alexander defines the rules and if he refers to specific standards.

[00:21:35] Georg wonders if Steffen has looked at any other metrics, and if he has looked at any of those kinds of community health metrics if he’s paired them with the code metrics he was looking at. Steffen tells us about a database they are using.

[00:23:58] If you’re interested in exploring the data and seeing the insights, Steffen tells us where you can get started.

[00:26:27] Andrea asks Steffen if there are any public projects that he can share with us that he has seen improving or getting worse, and he tells us about literature on defect predictions in software.

[00:30:31] Georg asks Steffen if he had one wish for the CHAOSS Project what it would be.

[00:31:23] Find out where you can follow Steffen and Alexander online.
