Note: A commit is a group of changes.

]]> These questions relate to the nature, behavior and intent of a change. Note that some of these questions are open-ended and therefore inherently difficult to answer automatically.

]]> These questions are related to bug tracking facilities.

]]> These questions situate the changes within the context of a stream of changes (set of subsequent commits), as well as to the time at which the change occurs. In particular when working on a stream of changes, these questions capture the place of a change within the stream.

For example, the integration of changes can have an unexpected impact on the design or behavior of the system, leading to the introduction of bugs. 

This survey is part of a joint academic research of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (Belgium) and INRIA-Lille (France). We have already developed some open-source tools (MIT license) to ease the integration and merging activity [1], and we will continue working in the same direction.

We kindly ask you to respond this survey and greatly thank you in advance for your contribution. As an integrator, your participation is very important to improve our work. Your answers will be treated anonymously and confidentially. They will be used for research purposes and to support the development of other tools. You can later access the results of this study and make free use of our tools to support the integration of changes.   To thank you for your contribution to this research, on August one participant to this survey will be randomly chose to be awarded with a gift check for Amazon.
