  • 'Bad practice' or 'bad methods' : are software engineering and ethnographic discourses incompatible?
  • 2002
  • Ingår i: 2002 INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON EMPIRICAL SOFTWARE ENGINEERING, PROCEEDINGS. ; , s. 204-210
  • Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Organizational problems in industry have evoked increased interest in empirical methodologies in the broader software engineering community. In this article ethnography and its relation to software engineering is addressed. Until now sociologists have performed the majority of ethnographic studies on software development. But how useful are these studies for software engineering? Ethnography emphasizes the members' point of view in order to understand the social. Studies from the members' perspective can be interpreted, as revealing 'bad methods' that do not work in complex work situations. From a sofiware engineering point of view, they just as easy point to the opposite as 'bad practice', bad application of existing methods. The objective of this paper is to promote ethnography and its contribution to sofiware engineering by revealing the different research attitudes of ethnographers and software engineers. Possibilities how to combine ethnographic studies with software method improvement are indicated.

  • Personas is not Applicable : Local Remedies Interpreted in a Wider Context
  • 2004
  • Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
    • One of the major problems with participatory design is that it is extremely difficult to apply it to current developments. Software development for the mass market is one aspect of current developments which has been addressed. The problem of how to apply participatory design invariably leads to questioning its relevance to present-day circumstances. It is suggested that new patterns of dominance must be revealed. The usability method known as 'personas' has been demonstrated to remedy the problems of including social and political issues in mass market software developments. This paper demonstrates how the application of personas to a mass market software development project failed because of patterns of dominance in the telecom branch which were unrecognised at the time. The identifying of these patterns of dominance contributes to a better understanding of some of the new patterns of power and domination in mass-market software developments that PD stands before.

  • Commitment as an Underlying Principle for Learning
  • 2004
  • Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The prevailingmodel of software development on which most educational programs are based is in conflict with general practice in industry. As following paper demonstrates Software Engineering education lacks an approach to teach the skills needed to master coalitions of existing recourses that are hard to control. In order to prepare students to handle unpredictable, non-technical and moving targets, an adequate curriculum is needed. Since 1990 software engineering education at Blekinge Institute of Technology has used commitment as the underlying principle for learning. This principle has made it possible to address the discrepancies between education and industry. This paper describes and evaluates our experience of using six elements of commitment in the education of software engineers.
