| Dear developers of the geoserver project, We are MSc students from the Delft University of Technology doing research on why builds break in open source projects. To do this, we are analyzing Travis build statistics and build history of geoserver. By analyzing the build history of geoserver, we found the following:
- The project has 52% failing builds in the history
- The project has a high amount of build failures compared to other similar projects
When looking at geoserver’s build metrics, we could not find clear factors that are highly correlated with this result. To identify the reasons behind build breakage, we would like to collect developer insights into the reasons why build breakage occurs. If you have five minutes, please answer the survey we have created. Your response will be very useful in our study. Thank you. |
