TL;DR: This work proposes a concept that enables the teams to decide by themselves how they want to visualize their set of user stories, and investigates the use, its efficiency and the applicability to agile distributed teams.
Abstract: User Stories are an important artifact in agile projects. Good understanding of user stories is crucial for project success. Distributed software teams rely on tools as a means for their communication about user stories. Current tools, however, fix the structure and visualization of stories and thereby limit potential information flow. We propose a concept that enables the teams to decide by themselves how they want to visualize their set of user stories. We want to investigate the use of the concept, its efficiency and the applicability to agile distributed teams.

TL;DR: This paper quantitatively and qualitatively evaluate 15 software development projects using agile (scrum) method and investigates the use of COSMIC Functional Size Measurement method for a rapid quantification and evaluation of a change request.
Abstract: Agile methods are becoming increasingly used in software industry as a response to the challenges of managing the frequent changes during the software life-cycle. However, an important number of agile projects yield unsatisfactory results and end up with failure. This is due mainly to a lack of structured change control process. A well-defined change control process gives software industry a significant competitive advantage. This paper describes an evaluation of functional changes affecting either an ongoing sprint or an implemented sprint. This evaluation can greatly assist the development teams in making appropriate decisions. We quantitatively and qualitatively evaluate 15 software development projects using agile (scrum) method. We also investigate the use of COSMIC Functional Size Measurement method for a rapid quantification and evaluation of a change request.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the relationship between user story quality and project performance measures such as the number of reported bugs and the occurrence of rework and delays, and found the following relationship patterns between User Story quality and the software development aspects.
Abstract: When software development teams apply Agile Software Development practices, they commonly express their requirements as User Stories. We aim to study the quality of User Stories and its evolution over time. Firstly, we develop a method to automatically monitor the quality of User Stories. Secondly, we investigate the relationship between User Story quality and project performance measures such as the number of reported bugs and the occurrence of rework and delays. We measure User Story quality with the help of a recently published quality framework and tool, Automatic Quality User Story Artisan (AQUSA). For our empirical work, we use six agile open source software projects. We apply time series analysis and use the Windowed Time Lagged Cross Correlation (WTLCC) method. Our results indicate that automatic User Story quality monitoring is feasible and may result in various distinct dynamic evolution patterns. In addition, we found the following relationship patterns between User Story quality and the software development aspects. A decrease/increase in User Story quality scores is associated with (i) a decrease/increase of the number of bugs after 1–13 weeks in short-medium projects, and 12 weeks in longer ones, (ii) an increase in rework frequency after 18–28, 8–15, and 1–3 weeks for long, medium, and short projects, respectively, and (iii) an increase in delayed issues after 7–20, 8–11, and 1–3 weeks for long, medium, and short duration projects.

TL;DR: A survey is conducted in a scrum environment with professionals with proven agile expertise based on 15 completed small-scaled agile projects in a well-known Mauritian company on factors and reasons for inaccurate effort estimation of a sprint.
Abstract: Scrum projects consist of multiple iterations, known as sprints during which user stories are implemented. Estimating user stories of an iteration accurately is important in order to provide clarity and help management to control the project successfully. This leads to the necessity of identifying factors that impact the accuracy of a sprint effort estimation. This paper therefore aims to identify factors and reasons for inaccurate effort estimation of a sprint. For this purpose, a survey is conducted in a scrum environment with professionals with proven agile expertise. The survey is based on 15 completed small-scaled agile projects in a well-known Mauritian company. Results of the survey are summarized in the paper, and recommendations are made.

TL;DR: A new user-extensible model for semi-structured data items is developed, enabling end-user programmers to create, share, and apply topes, enabling these users to quickly implement data validation and reformatting functionality.
Abstract: Many end user programming tools such as spreadsheets and databases offer poor support for representing data at a level of abstraction that is intuitive to users. For example, users must work with "strings" rather than person names, phone numbers, or street addresses. As a result, validating and manipulating data is difficult. This thesis develops a new user-extensible model for semi-structured data items. Each "tope" within this model defines how to recognize a kind of data item based on format and context, and how to transform that kind of item among valid formats. To show the usefulness of this model, we provide an environment to help end-user programmers to create, share, and apply topes, enabling these users to quickly implement data validation and reformatting functionality.
