I am grateful the Swiss Research Magazine Horizons chose to write about our study. Novice reviewers required step-by-step checklist aid in simpler code reviews but needed more autonomy to perform better in a complex review. horizons-mag.ch/2022/09/01/che… Enrico Fregnan Alberto Bacchelli Tobias Baum

Great news! Our paper “First come first served: the impact of file position on code review” (arxiv.org/pdf/2208.04259…) was selected as one of the distinguished papers at FSE 2022! 🎉🎉🎉 Congrats and thanks to all the authors Larissa Braz Marco D'Ambros Gül Calikli Alberto Bacchelli

Hi. We developed a web application to investigate ways to improve code review. If you have javascript knowledge, please help us by participating in this 20-30min experiment: review.ifi.uzh.ch To thank you, we will donate 5 USD to the charity of your choice.

Would you like to help improve the code review process? If so, please consider participating in our new experiment! It takes around 20-30 minutes and, as a token of appreciation, we will donate 5 USD to a charity of your choice! Link: review.ifi.uzh.ch

Congratulations to Enrico Fregnan, Larissa Braz, Marco D'Ambros, Gül Calikli, Alberto Bacchelli for their paper being selected as one of the seven ACM SIGSOFT Distinguished Paper awards at FSE 2025 buff.ly/3MvT4Ye
