论文摘要
在软件开发任务中使用自动机器人自动支持正在增加。然而，过去，与人类同行相比，他们并不总是被积极地感知，有时会出现负面偏见。我们进行了一项定性研究，其中在学生软件开发项目中部署了41天的自动重构机器人。在两者之间和最后，我们进行了半结构化的访谈，以了解开发人员如何看待机器人，以及与人类贡献相比，在审查机器人的贡献时，它们是否或多或少是至关重要的。我们的发现表明，该机器人被认为是有用且不引人注目的贡献者，开发人员对此并不比对人类同事的批评更加批评，但是只有少数团队成员对机器人负责。
The use of autonomous bots for automatic support in software development tasks is increasing. In the past, however, they were not always perceived positively and sometimes experienced a negative bias compared to their human counterparts. We conducted a qualitative study in which we deployed an autonomous refactoring bot for 41 days in a student software development project. In between and at the end, we conducted semi-structured interviews to find out how developers perceive the bot and whether they are more or less critical when reviewing the contributions of a bot compared to human contributions. Our findings show that the bot was perceived as a useful and unobtrusive contributor, and developers were no more critical of it than they were about their human colleagues, but only a few team members felt responsible for the bot.
