论文摘要

近年来,开源法规开发已变得广泛。结果,开源软件平台也变得流行,来自不同地点的数百万开发人员能够为同一项目做出贡献。在这些平台上,从用户活动中获得了有关它们的各种知识。这些信息以开发人员指标的形式使用来解决各种挑战。在这项研究中,我们提出了新的开发人员指标,包括评论和与问题有关的活动,需要更少的信息。我们得出的结论是,对项目的任何功能发表评论也可以与代码贡献一样有价值。此外,除了定量的数量外,仅基于活动的存在的指标也证明可以提供相当大的结果。我们看到问题对于确定用户贡献至关重要。即使开发人员仅对项目上的一个问题做出贡献,开发商与项目之间的关系也很紧。由于数据集的稀疏问题,HIT分数相对较低。即便如此,我们认为我们已经提出了可改进和出色的新开发人员指标。

Open-source code development has become widespread in recent years. As a result, open-source software platforms have also become popular, and millions of developers from diverse locations are able to contribute to the same projects. On these platforms, various knowledge about them is obtained from user activity. This information is used in the form of developer metrics to solve a variety of challenges. In this study, we proposed new developer metrics, including commenting and issue-related activity, that require less information. We concluded that commenting on any feature of a project can be equally as valuable as code contribution. In addition, besides the quantitative ones, metrics based on only the existence of the activity have been shown to offer also considerable results. We saw that issues were crucial in identifying user contributions. Even if a developer makes a contribution to only one issue on a project, the relation between the developer and the project is tight. The hit scores are relatively lower because of the sparsity problem of our dataset; even so, we believe that we have presented improvable and remarkable new developer metrics.
