DLF'er Emerson Murphy-Hill accepts a Best Paper award from IEEE Software and ICSE 2018 for his work with Googlehttps://people.engr.ncsu.edu/ermurph3/papers/seip18.pdf

Sometimes, it's just better not to write documentation. Find out why at ICSE 2018, in collaboration with Google.https://people.engr.ncsu.edu/ermurph3/papers/icse18.pdf

Keeping billions of lines of code in Google's monolithic repository is challenging, but it comes with some big wins. Find out what they are ICSE 2018:https://people.engr.ncsu.edu/ermurph3/papers/seip18.pdf

Which contributions predict whether developers are accepted
into GitHub teams? Find out in our upcoming Mining Software Repositories 2018 paperhttps://people.engr.ncsu.edu/ermurph3/papers/msr18.pdf

Using sentiment and politeness analysis tools on developer discussions is unreliable, but people are unreliable too. Find out more at SEmotion @ ICSE 2018https://people.engr.ncsu.edu/ermurph3/papers/semotion18.pdf

What happens when you analyze thousands of Google developers' code on every editor save? You notice API usability problems! Find out more in our WAPI @ ICSE 2018 paper:https://people.engr.ncsu.edu/ermurph3/papers/wapi18.pdf

Congrats to Dr. Titus Barik for successfully defending his dissertation, "Error Messages as Rational Reconstructions"!

Chris Brown presents his work on how developers discover tools effectively, at VLHCC 2017.

Justin Smith presents his tool Flower at VLHCC 2017

At VL/HCC, we describe a tool that separates out refactorings to make code review easier.https://people.engr.ncsu.edu/ermurph3/papers/vlhcc17-refactoring.pdf

At VL/HCC, we'll present a security tool we built to make program navigation powerful and seamless.https://people.engr.ncsu.edu/ermurph3/papers/vlhcc17-navigation.pdf

For VL/HCC, we studied 13 pairs of students and professionals to find out how software users learn tools from one another:
