Interview Study on the Integration of Large Language Models
In this study we are investigates how practitioners decide to adopt (or avoid) LLMs in their projects and what factors, challenges, and safeguards shape these decisions. Our goal is to better understand the role of LLMs in software development workflows and their implications for software supply chain security.
Interview Study on the use of SCA tools
In this study, we are looking for participants in an interview-based approach to investigate the use of SCA (software composition analysis) tools. The study aims to uncover how the tools play a part in security workflows and how users make decisions based on tool output. From the interviews, we hope to gather insights into SCA tools and software supply chain security.
Interview Study on Impactful Open Source Dependency Abandonment
We are seeking practitioners with experience facing open source dependency abandonment for interviews! Interview discussions will be focused on a specific project of your choosing if possible. They will include questions about how the context of the project’s dependency usage affects the potential impact of a given dependency’s abandonment (all discussions will be fully anonymized!) Through these discussions, we will explore how to assess dependency usage context to approximate the impact and noteworthiness of abandonment in order to identify impactful open source dependency abandonment.
