Decision knowledge encompasses decisions and related information such as the problems the decisions address, their rationale, or alternatives. The management of decision knowledge is considered important for software development, however, it is often not integrated, since it requires additional effort and developers do not perceive short-term benef...

Developers make various decisions during software development. The rationale behind these decisions is of great importance during software evolution of long living software systems. However, current practices for documenting rationale often fall short and rationale remains hidden in the heads of developers or embedded in development artifacts. Furt...

Users of the Twitter microblogging platform share a considerable amount of information through short messages on a daily basis. Some of these so-called tweets discuss issues related to software and could include information that is relevant to the companies developing these applications. Such tweets have the potential to help requirements engineers...

Users of the Twitter microblogging platform share a vast amount of information about various topics through short messages on a daily basis. Some of these so called tweets include information that is relevant for software companies and could, for example, help requirements engineers to identify user needs. Therefore, tweets have the potential to ai...

User feedback is an important means of validating requirements and discovering new requirements in continuous software evolution. However, users have a low motivation to provide feedback and prefer applications which do not interrupt their work. Due to missing context information, developers have difficulties to analyze feedback, and to integrate i...

User feedback is a rich source of information which can help developers to improve software quality and identify missing features. However, developers need to analyze user feedback in order to assess its relevance and potential impact, which bears several challenges due to its quantity, quality, structure, and content, particularly when feedback vo...
