INTRODUCTION
In order to develop and deliver high-quality products to their
customers, software companies have to adopt state-of-the-art
software development processes. To face this challenge,
companies are applying innovative methods, approaches and
techniques like agile methods, DevOps, continuous delivery,
test automation, infrastructure as code or container-based
virtualization. These new approaches have a high impact on
the specification, design, development, maintenance, operation
and the evolution of software systems. Therefore, common
software engineering activities, organizational forms and
processes have to be questioned, adapted and extended to
ensure continuous and unobstructed software development.
After the successful 1st and 2nd Workshop on Continuous
Software Engineering (CSE 2016/2017) [
• Change management and handling user feedback Software development lifecycle for CSE Continuous delivery for requirements engineering/early prototyping
• Infrastructure as code
• Design for scalability
Provisioning of software and infrastructure Engineering of deployment pipelines
• Test automation and optimization
Digital transformation and innovation Overall, the workshop aimed at gathering together researchers and practitioners to present new ideas and discuss experiences in the application of state of the art approaches to Continuous Software Engineering.
II. Based on our former experience, we wanted the workshop to be highly interactive. In order to have an interesting and interactive event sharing lots of experience, we organized the workshop presentations applying the author-discussant model. According to this model, papers are presented by one of the authors. Afterwards, a discussant starts the discussion based on his or her pre-formulated questions. Therefore, the discussant has to prepare a set of questions and has to know the details of the presented paper. The general structure of each talk was as follows: 1. The author of a paper presented the paper (20 minutes). 2.
After that, the discussant of the paper opened the discussion using his or her questions (5 minutes). 3. Finally, we moderated the discussion among the whole audience (5 minutes).
This format has proven to be very successful because it led to more intensive discussions among the participants.
