Listen to this interview of Jenny Liang, PhD student, Carnegie Mellon University. We talk about her coauthored paper A Qualitative Study on the Implementation Design Decisions of Developers (ICSE 2023).
Jenny Liang : "When it comes to selecting specific results or codes, I like to think about it in terms of what was surprising. So, maybe it's not so surprising that people think about requirements when making these implementation design decisions — and that's why we didn't talk about that. But what will be interesting, for example, is the fact that they think about future requirements that might come down the pipeline — and so, that's why we selected that. So, that is one heuristic, for me, basically: know what the prior literature is, know what the relevant community believe — and then cater to that."
