Hi all,

We are conducting an academic research to improve tools for software integration. If you maintain a project with multiple contributors, we will greatly appreciate your participation.

Your answers will be used for research purposes and to support the development of new tools. You can later access the results of this study, make free use of our tools to support the integration of changes, and maybe receive a gift.

Best regards,
Martin Dias, Nicolas Anquetil, Veronica Isabel Uquillas, Stéphane Ducasse and the RMOD Inria team

Just one comment or question, maybe:

When you say LOC, which software is counted?

Pieces of software that are being integrated may be of
an unknown number of LOC.

Some libraries come with a system and their LOC
just does not matter; its integration does.

Some software is never touched by any one member
of all teams involved. Do its LOC count?

Some pieces of code will appear explicitly in
an "integration setup", others won't.

Hello G.B.,

Thank you for your feedback.

It's a good point. We should had made it more clear. We will use the LOC number to have some notion of the size of the project where the integration is done, so it is better if it does not consider external libraries.

Thank you again.
Martín
