UserTrace: User-Level Requirements Generation and Traceability Recovery from Software Project Repositories
Software maintainability critically depends on high-quality requirements descriptions and explicit traceability between requirements and code. Although automated code summarization (ACS) and requirements traceability (RT) techniques have been widely studied, existing ACS methods mainly generate implementation-level (i.e., developer-oriented) requirements (IRs) for fine-grained units (e.g., methods), while RT techniques often overlook the impact of project evolution. As a result, user-level (i.e…

Mastodon is bringing quote posts to the fediverse
Mastodon is rolling out quote posts, allowing you to repost someone else’s content and add extra context. The decentralized network will offer full control over who can quote your posts.

PSA for users that regularly test #Fedora Beta as well as proposed updates once the new version was released:
Do not enable updates-testing[1] by modifying /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates-testing.repo; instead do it like this:
$ sudo dnf config-manager setopt updates-testing.enabled=true
Otherwise updates-testing will be disabled shortly before the release of a new version (t…

You can put a library in one repository, the app in another, and at build time you combine both into one application.

Altered Histories in Version Control System Repositories: Evidence from the Trenches
Version Control Systems (VCS) like Git allow developers to locally rewrite recorded history, e.g., to reorder and suppress commits or specific data in them. These alterations have legitimate use cases, but become problematic when performed on public branches that have downstream users: they break push/pull workflows, challenge the integrity and reproducibility of repositories, and create opportunities for supply chain attackers to sneak into them nefarious changes. We conduct the first large-sc…

When Shared Worlds Break: Demystifying Defects in Multi-User Extended Reality Software Systems
Multi-user Extended Reality (XR) systems enable transformative shared experiences but introduce unique software defects that compromise user experience. Understanding software defects in multi-user XR systems is crucial for enhancing system reliability, yet remains underexplored. To fill the gap, this paper presents the first large-scale empirical study of multi-user XR defects, analyzing 2,649 real-world bug reports from diverse sources, including developer forums, GitHub repositories, and app…
