Martin RobillardI was just reading on a mailing list that the <a href="https://social.sigsoft.org/tags/ICSE2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ICSE2025</a> conference will be posting on Facebook, BlueSky, and X?I would be nice to have a Mastodon feed as well.For all conferences.EDIT: And voila: <a href="https://mastodon.social/@icseconf" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@icseconf</a> <a href="https://social.sigsoft.org/tags/seresearchers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#seresearchers</a>

Martin RobillardWe recently developed an entropy-based metric to track the consistency of coding conventions used in test suites, as one element of their quality.Many changes in entropy betray significant low-level events in the development of the test suite, such as the introduction of different libraries, or the progressive adoption of new naming conventions.<a href="https://social.sigsoft.org/tags/seresearchers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#seresearchers</a> <a href="https://social.sigsoft.org/tags/testing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#testing</a> <a href="https://social.sigsoft.org/tags/Java" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Java</a> <a href="https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3672448" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3672448</a> <a href="https://www.cs.mcgill.ca/~martin/papers/2024-tosem-testing.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.cs.mcgill.ca/~martin/papers/2024-tosem-testing.pdf</a>

Philipp LeitnerIEEE TSE, the flagship journal of academic software engineering research, is refining its CfP with regards to AI. <a href="https://discuss.systems/tags/SE4AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SE4AI</a> papers with a strong focus on model improvement (I.e., core AI or ML papers) will now be considered out of scope.This presumably comes as an attempt to keep TSE distinct from existing ML or AI Engineering journals. Similar scope refinements also seem to be happening at the Big 3 conferences of the field (ICSE, FSE, ASE).<a href="https://discuss.systems/tags/seresearchers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#seresearchers</a> <a href="https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10752650" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10752650</a>

Martin RobillardLast week I gave a talk on the sustainability of software research <a href="https://social.sigsoft.org/tags/artifacts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#artifacts</a>. One main point was that acknowledging the tools/research we reuse contributes to their <a href="https://social.sigsoft.org/tags/sustainability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sustainability</a>. So here we go: the following studies were most helpful for reflecting on this topic: <a href="https://social.sigsoft.org/tags/SeResearchers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SeResearchers</a>1/3

Martin RobillardIf you are a member of SIGSOFT would you switch to a SIGSOFT Mastodon server? <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/seresearchers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#seresearchers</a>

Philipp Leitner<a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/seresearchers" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@seresearchers</a>, if one was looking for a Java OSS project with extraordinarily many and structurally complex unit tests, which ones would you look at first?Is there a good way to query this using BigQuery or in GHTorrent?<a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/SEResearchers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SEResearchers</a>

Pascal Poizat (pro)Would like to read an advent calendar of SE articles (like for beer ones: not full classical or full IPA/trendy if possible).

Martin RobillardThe second question (for now) is what qualifies as a research tool, in particular with respect to open vs closed source and commercial vs. publicly-funded.<a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/SEResearchers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SEResearchers</a>6/

Martin RobillardThe first question is whether and how to distinguish between reusable tools (that must be extensively documented and maintained) and static data sets (which are more for archival purposes)?<a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/SEResearchers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SEResearchers</a>5/

Martin RobillardAs a member of the SIGSOFT executive I have been (slowly) preparing a proposal for an official recognition system for artifacts that are maintained and evolved beyond the publication of the corresponding paper. But this is more complex than it looks and I welcome feedback on a number of questions.<a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/SEResearchers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SEResearchers</a>4/
