Survey: Identifying and Fixing Undesirable Behaviors Across Software Versions

Hello,

As part of my PhD at the University of Lille, I am currently conducting a study on how developers handle certain bug scenarios. 
The goal is to better understand current practices, the tools used, and developers' needs regarding debugging in a specific scenario. 

You can find the survey at the following address:
Your participation in this short questionnaire (5 - 10 minutes) would greatly help us analyze existing methods and identify potential gaps in the available solutions. 
This survey will be open for 6 weeks (until May 15th, 2025). The responses will be analyzed and included in a scientific publication. The results will be available here.

If you can, please feel free to share this questionnaire with other developers who might be interested. 
Every response counts and will contribute to a better understanding of the community's practices! 



A big thank you for your help and time. 


Best regards, 
Rémi Dufloer
PhD Student, University of Lille

Bonjour,

Dans le cadre de ma thèse à l’Université de Lille, je mène actuellement une étude sur la manière dont les développeurs gèrent certains scénarios de bugs.
L’objectif est de mieux comprendre les pratiques actuelles, les outils utilisés et les besoins des développeurs en matière de debugging sur un scénario précis.

Voici le lien du questionnaire:


https://sondages.inria.fr/index.php/462191?lang=en


Votre participation à ce court questionnaire (5 - 10 minutes) nous aiderait énormément à analyser les méthodes existantes et à identifier les éventuelles lacunes dans les solutions disponibles.
Ce survey est ouvert durant 6 semaines (fermeture le15 mai 2025).Les réponses obtenues seront analysées et feront l'objet d'une publication scientifique.Les résultats seront publiésici.

Si vous le pouvez, n’hésitez pas à partager ce questionnaire avec d’autres développeurs susceptibles d’être intéressés.
Chaque réponse compte et contribuera à une meilleure compréhension des pratiques de la communauté !

Un grand merci pour votre aide et votre temps.

Bien cordialement,

Dufloer Rémi
Doctorant, Université de Lille

Webinar: 8 April Humanizing Health Care Through Relationality -

Exploring The Science And Practice Of Community Engagement


Join us for the first of four webinars co-hosted by the WHO Department of Integrated Health Services (IHS) and the Global Health Partnerships (GHP) (formerly THET). This webinar series is based on a new policy report launched at the World Innovation Summit for Health (WISH) -

https://wish.org.qa/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Relationality-in-Community-Engagement.pdf 

The report revisits foundational concepts of community and examines how a deeper understanding of the relational nature of community engagement can contribute to improving quality of health care and transforming health systems. The webinar series hopes to inspire a shared understanding of community engagement’s transformative potential and how it can be leveraged for people-led change.

c/o A.Word.A.Day: Hodges' model - Walk the (dual!) chalk line

A.Word.A.Day

with Anu Garg

'Having a tool is like having a superpower in your pocket. With the right gadget, you can do much more than what arms and legs alone allow -- build a magnificent pyramid, lift water from deep below, or even predict whether you’ll need an umbrella tomorrow.


And not all tools need wires, batteries, or instruction manuals. Sometimes, a simple device can save labor -- a lever, a pulley, a piece of string dusted with chalk -- can save hours of sweat and toil.'
