    This summary refers to the paper ’How is security testing done in agile teams? A cross-case analysis of four software teams’ [Cr17]. The paper was published as a full research paper in the proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Agile Software Development (XP 2017). It presents a multiple case study on how security testing is done in agile teams.

    Inner Source in Platform-based Product Engineering
    (Software Engineering und Software Management 2018, 2018) Riehle, Dirk; Capraro, Maximilian; Kips, Detlef; Horn, Lars
    Die vorzustellende Veröffentlichung wurde in IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering vol. 42, no. 12 (December 2016), 1162-1177, veröffentlicht. Der Titel lautet Inner Source in Platform-Based Product Engineering. Es folgt der Artikel-Abstract: Inner source is an approach to collaboration across intra-organizational boundaries for the creation of shared reusable assets. Prior project reports on inner source suggest improved code reuse and better knowledge sharing. Using a multiple-case case study research approach, we analyze the problems that three major software development organizations were facing in their product line engineering efforts. We find that a root cause, the separation of product units as profit centers from a platform organization as a cost center, leads to delayed deliveries, increased defect rates, and redundant software components. All three organizations assume that inner source can help solve these problems. The article analyzes the expectations that these companies were having towards inner source and the problems they were experiencing in its adoption. Finally, the article presents our conclusions on how these organizations should adapt their existing engineering efforts.

    Wirtschaftsinformatik-Forschung für die Praxis
    (HMD Praxis der Wirtschaftsinformatik: Vol. 57, No. 2, 2020) Robra-Bissantz, Susanne; Strahringer, Susanne
    Ganz im Sinne der Zeitschrift HMD – Praxis der Wirtschaftsinformatik existiert in Deutschland neben anderen Ausrichtungen auch eine explizit auf Praxisorientierung ausgerichtete Wirtschaftsinformatikforschung. Dieser Beitrag behandelt aus verschiedenen Blickwinkeln deren Entwicklungen und Strömungen. Im Mittelpunkt stehen Forschungsmethoden, die Forschung für die Praxis unterstützen. Dies sind insbesondere Methoden der Fallstudienforschung, der Aktionsforschung und der gestaltungsorientierten Forschung in verschiedenen Ausprägungen. Insbesondere diejenigen Methoden, die Forschung gemeinsam mit der Praxis anstreben, benötigen Rahmenbedingungen, die dies ermöglichen. Die gängigsten Kollaborationsformen, ihre Verknüpfung zu Forschungsmethoden, die von den jeweiligen Partnern zu erwartenden Nutzeffekte und Ergebnisse bilden den zweiten Schwerpunkt des Beitrages. Darüber hinaus identifizieren wir weitere Ansatzpunkte, die Forschern Wege aufzeigen, wie die Praxisrelevanz ihrer Forschung gesteigert werden kann. So gibt es methodische Bausteine, die vorhandene Forschungsmethoden um nicht invasive Komponenten ergänzen können, um die Relevanz der Forschungsergebnisse für die Praxis sicherzustellen. Zudem können Forscher auch an der besseren Konsumierbarkeit ihrer Ergebnisse arbeiten und sollten Mut fassen, die üblichen Routinen vergangener Forschung gelegentlich auch zu verlassen. A considerable number of scholars in Germany conduct practice-oriented research that is in line with the aims and scope of the journal “HMD—Praxis der Wirtschaftsinformatik”. This paper looks at this type of research from different perspectives and addresses research methods suitable for conducting research together with practice and suited for producing results applicable in practice. Against this backdrop, we discuss case study research, action research, and different flavors of design-oriented research. However, in order to conduct research together with practice in joint endeavors also organizational requirements have to be considered. We therefore present how collaboration between science and practice can be organized, how these forms of collaboration comply with research methods and what effects and outcomes are to be expected for each of the collaborating parties. Additionally, we identify other starting points that may help scholars in improving the relevance of their research to practice such as methodological building blocks that can be added to research methods non-invasively in order to ensure importance of research results to practitioners. Researchers can also work on making their research more accessible to practitioners. Ultimately, we also want to encourage researchers to sometimes deviate from the dominant and established ways of conducting research and to be open to new, risky, but perhaps more satisfying forms of research.
