Abstract

Software processes are complex as they involve multiple actors and data which interplay with one another over time. Process science is the discipline that studies processes. Works in this area are already using multi-dimensional analyses approaches to provide new insights in business processes that go beyond the discovery of control flow via process mining. In this paper, we investigate the applicability of multi-dimensional process analysis. More specifically, we extract data from GitHub open-source repositories that was generated during software development, and evaluate diverse software development metrics. Our results help to explain performance issues by revealing multiple contributing factors, such a side-work, that hinder the progress completing a development task. With this work, we pave the way for multi-dimensional process analysis on software development data.
