An Explainable Automated Model for Measuring Software Engineer Contribution
Abstract
Software engineers play an important role throughout the software development life-cycle, particularly in industry emphasizing quality assurance and timely delivery. Contribution measurement provides proper incentives to software engineers that motivate them to continuously improve the quality and efficiency of their work. However, existing research tends to ignore contribution measurement for software engineers in practice, relying heavily on peer review and lacking objectivity and transparency. Specifically, these studies still have two weaknesses. First, a few studies explore which metrics can be useful for contribution measurement in practice. Second, managers measure the contribution of software engineers based on their experience and lack of explainable automated tools to assist them.
