Abstract

This paper addresses the hindrances behind software developers' failures as perceived from software build failures. We capture and correlate the routines and patterns of developers' interactions in IDE, their backgrounds, expertise, and geographic locations with their failure instances. Our study is based on a large dataset of 85 developers' 11 million interactions/events in Microsoft Visual Studio IDE over 15,000 work-hours. The findings from this study will help developers and organizations in shaping their working style for higher success rate.
