11:00 am Impact of Modern Code Review Practices

Software teams that use modern code reviewing tools like Gerrit are quickly accumulating data about their code reviewing processes. In our research, we mine this code review data, connecting it with data from other software repositories (e.g., version control, bug trackers) to produce rich datasets. We then analyze these datasets to study the impact that code reviewing has on: (a) software release quality (approximated using occurrences of post-release bugs) and (b) software design quality (approximated using occurrences of design anti-patterns). In this talk, I will describe our approach to Gerrit mining code review data and the results of some of our recent empirical studies of the code reviewing processes of large open source systems, such as Qt and OpenStack.

1:30 pm SAML in a weekend

Single Sign-on (SSO) enables users to conveniently sign in into an organization's internal application by using a single set of credentials. More than that, by signing once, they gain access to all the applications they need. Besides the obvious convenience SSO provides to end users, IT administrators can manage all their users and their access rights from a central place. In this talk, I will show you how we implemented SSO via SAML for Gerrit in just one weekend.

3:00 pm Gerrit at Yahoo, a 2-year Journey

Sharing our experience in these 2 years on Gerrit's growth in Yahoo from a single team pilot to the company wide recommended code review solution.

We will talk about the reason why we chose Gerrit and how we move forward the adoption along with Git and GitHub, Chef based deployments, submit rules customizations, and a few metrics we created to facilitate better use of Gerrit and code reviews in general, also the critical role Gerrit played in the landscape of continuous delivery.
