TLDR
The most entered and retrieved types of experience were code examples and document templates and examples, suggesting that the experience repository supported the organisation by providing a vehicle for reuse of concrete development artifacts.Abstract:
This paper presents empirical data on the use of a software engineering experience repository in a small software organisation. The data contains information about use, usefulness and structure of the repository. Analysis of the data provides insights into how experience management can support software development in a small software organisation. The data shows that the organisation used the experience repository extensively, found the repository positively useful and realized tangible benefits from its use. The most entered and retrieved types of experience were code examples and document templates and examples, suggesting that the experience repository supported the organisation by providing a vehicle for reuse of concrete development artifacts.read more

The long-term effects of an EPG/ER in a small software organisation
F. Kurniawati,R. Jeffery +1 more
TL;DR: The study shows that tangible benefits from the use of the EPG/ER can not only be realized quickly but also, more importantly, that the tool remains useful with many more benefits accruing over time.

The Impact of Employee Participation on the Use of an Electronic Process Guide: A Longitudinal Case Study
Torgeir Dingsøyr,Nils Brede Moe +1 more
TL;DR: The study suggests that employee participation has a long-term positive effect on electronic process guide usage, and employees who participated in process workshops showed a higher degree of usage, used a larger number of functions, and expressed more advantages and disadvantages than those not involved.

Perceived Usefulness, Perceived Ease of Use, and User
TL;DR: Regression analyses suggest that perceived ease of use may actually be a causal antecdent to perceived usefulness, as opposed to a parallel, direct determinant of system usage.

Perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and user acceptance of information technology
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed and validated new scales for two specific variables, perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use, which are hypothesized to be fundamental determinants of user acceptance.

Supporting reuse by delivering task-relevant and personalized information
Yunwen Ye,Gerhard Fischer +1 more
TL;DR: This research has explored a new interaction style between software developers and reuse repository systems enabled by information delivery mechanisms, where information delivery autonomously locates and presents components by using the developers' partially written programs as implicit queries.
