Supporting Comparison of Developer Profiles across Online Communities
Xiaofan Chen, Anita Sarma · 2016
Current software development practices leave a plethora of activities that are archived in version control systems, issue trackers, mailing lists, or Question and Answer (Q&A) forums. Software managers are increasingly using these online activities to better evaluate job candidates. We introduce our tool, Visual Resume, that displays visual overviews of developers’ contributions in code sharing sites (e.g. GitHub) and Q&A forums (e.g. Stack Overflow). The design of the tool is broadly applicable as an approach to summarize and display online contributions.
