Hello, I am Mattie Nejati, a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Waterloo’s School of Computer Science, working with Prof. Shane McIntosh in the Software Analytics Group (SWAG) as part of the REBELs team. You are invited to participate in a research study examining a new approach to estimate the impact that a modification to CMake build specifications may have on the build configuration. The purpose of the study is to evaluate whether our proposed approach facilitates the detection of such impacts. The experiment involves two task streams in which you inspect changes to CMake build specifications. You may participate in this study if you are an adult (ages 18-64) with any level of prior experience in CMake, programming, or code review, as our results will be reported for different levels of expertise. The results of these tasks will help us understand the speed and accuracy at which developers can find the impact of changes to the build specifications. The experiments will take around one hour and will be held online. To participate, you will need a computer with an internet connection and 4 GB of free space to download the files required for the tasks. We will not collect your name. We will ask for your email address to follow up with you regarding the study. The system will assign a random number to you, and the mapping between your email and this random number will be kept in an encrypted database in a secure location, accessible only to the authors of this study. Thus, your name or your email address will NOT appear in any dataset or publication. This study has been reviewed and received clearance from the University of Waterloo Research Ethics Board (REB #46621). If you are interested, please follow the link below to fill out the consent form and the screening questionnaire, after which you will be redirected to the experiment platform. https://buiscout.cs.uwaterloo.ca/ If you have any questions, please contact me at [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>.
Thank you for your interest and participation. Best, Mattie
