Low/No-code is a trend in the software development industry that seeks to provide those without specific computer training with easy-to-use tools create applications or programs meet particular business need. In market, multiple platforms allow users develop solutions withsome code or, some cases, no need for coding. This paper explores origins of this and how it has evolved, its adoption devel...

Free/open source software (F/OSS) development projects are growing at a rapid rate. Globally dispersed virtual communities with large groups of software developers contribute time and effort often without pay. One force behind this phenomenon is the Free Software Movement (FSM), a 20 year-old social movement whose purpose is to promote the use of free software instead of proprietary software. W...

This Article considers the extent to which joint criminal enterprise doctrine could be invoked hold software developers criminally accountable for violations of international humanitarian law involving autonomous weapons. More specifically, it whether third part concept—which concerns common purposes—might brought bear achieve this end. The is deconstructed into five components, and each compon...

Software developers are generally interested in developing better habits to increase their workplace productivity and well-being, but have difficulties identifying concrete goals actionable strategies do so. In several areas of life, such as the physical activity health domain, self-reflection has been shown be successful at increasing people's awareness about a problematic behavior, motivating...

Software developers use different project repositories (i.e., mailing list, bug tracking repositories, discussion forums etc.) to interact with each other or to solve software related problems. The growing interest in the usage of social media channels (i.e., Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn) have also attracted the open source software community and software developers to adopt an identity in order...

Suppose one COTS (Commercial Off the Shelf) software supplier provides an interpreter for a problem oriented language, another provides an application generator for producing numerical solvers for a class of partial differential equations, and a third produces a visualization package. A team of domain specialists writes scripts in the problem oriented language to define cases to be solved, uses...

This paper details a research project undertaken to assess the extent of adoption of quality assurance (QA) certification by Australian software developers. A brief history of government QA policy, the catalyst in the sudden interest in certification, is included. Primary data for the study were gathered from a survey of 1,000 Australian software developers, and were used to determine the exten...
