Voice of the Users: A study of software feedback differences between Germany and China

James Tizard et al.

Summary: The study reveals significant differences in feedback behavior and attitudes between software users in Germany and China, particularly in the feedback channels used, motivations behind feedback, reasons for not giving feedback, and potential methods to encourage feedback. These differences are analyzed in the context of the Hofstede cultural model, focusing on the dimensions of individualism and power distance where Germany and China differ significantly. Valuable insights are provided on how online feedback channels are used by each country and ways the channels can be adapted to better suit their distinct cultures.

Automatically Matching Bug Reports With Related App Reviews

Marlo Haering et al.

Summary: App stores play a crucial role in collecting user feedback for software evolution, but matching user feedback with bug reports in issue trackers is challenging. DeepMatcher is an automatic approach that utilizes deep learning methods to match problem reports in app reviews with bug reports in issue trackers, showing promising results in evaluations with four open-source apps.

Traceability Transformed: Generating more Accurate Links with Pre-Trained BERT Models

Jinfeng Lin et al.

Summary: The study introduces a novel framework called Trace BERT (T-BERT) to generate trace links between source code and natural language artifacts, addressing data sparsity and enabling knowledge transfer from related challenges to achieve higher accuracy. Among three BERT architectures, Single-BERT shows the highest accuracy, while Siamese-BERT is more efficient in execution time; all three models outperform classical IR trace models, and T-BERT consistently outperforms the VSM model in real-world projects with an average improvement of 60.31% in Mean Average Precision (MAP).
