Abstract:
The advance in technology has enabled the emergence of virtual teams. In these teams, people are in different places and possibly over different time zones, making use of computer mediated communication. At the same time distribution brings benefits, there are some challenges as the difficulty to develop trust, which is essential for efficiency in these teams. In this scenario, trust information could be used to allocate members in a new team and/or, to monitor them during the project execution. In this paper we present an automatic framework for detecting trust between members of global software development teams using sentiment analysis from comments and profile data available in versioning systems. Besides the framework description, we also present its implementation for the GitHub versioning system.
