How "war stories" can reveal what really happens in software engineering, A Q&A with Carolyn Seaman
In this class visit, Dr. Carolyn Seaman, professor at the University of Maryland Baltimore County, describes the power and drawbacks of using "war stories", a storytelling technique used as part of interviews to learn about what really happens with software documentation in practice. Carolyn shares with us other advice on using qualitative methods: "Just as you should never drink or swim alone, never do qualitative analysis alone"!
This Q&A was recorded live as part of a workshop on Collaboration, Communication and Knowledge Flow, at a Senior Topics Course in Empirical Software Engineering at the University of Victoria on Nov 13th, 2020.
In preparation for today's workshop, we read/watched materials posted on this page.
This Q&A is also available on YouTube.
