Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in Software Engineering de Daniela Damian

Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in Software Engineering

Editat de Daniela Damian, Kelly Blincoe, Denae Ford, Alexander Serebrenik, Zainab Masood
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 sep 2024

Implementarea unui mediu de lucru incluziv și echitabil nu mai este doar un imperativ etic, ci o necesitate operațională pentru orice organizație tehnologică modernă. Cititorul va învăța să implementeze instrumente, metode și practici concrete pentru a construi echipe de dezvoltare software care să valorifice talente diverse, trecând de la simple rapoarte anuale la schimbări sistemice în fluxul de lucru. Observăm că volumul Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in Software Engineering nu se limitează la teorie, ci analizează modul în care aspecte precum genul, rasa sau vârsta influențează direct activitățile și rezultatele ingineriei software.

Suntem de părere că forța acestui volum rezidă în abordarea tehnică a incluziunii. Pe linia practică a lucrării Diversity in Computer Science, dar cu un focus specific pe procesele de dezvoltare, cartea investighează cum poate fi adaptată ingineria cerințelor pentru a fi mai incluzivă și cum se pot proiecta interfețe utilizator în echipe cu abilități mixte. Merită menționat că structura progresivă a cărții — de la peisajul general al studiilor de diversitate la implementarea efectivă în echipe și produse software — oferă un cadru de lucru aplicabil atât în mediul academic, cât și în cel industrial.

În contextul operei editorilor, în special al Danielei Damian, această lucrare extinde preocupările anterioare legate de calitatea software-ului, precum cele din Requirements Engineering: Foundation for Software Quality, adăugând dimensiunea umană și socială ca factor critic pentru succesul tehnic. Față de Hacking Diversity – The Politics of Inclusion in Open Technology Cultures, care explorează cultura open-source, acest volum oferă o perspectivă riguroasă, bazată pe date empirice și studii de caz din corporații și programe educaționale.

Contribuțiile sale anterioare s-au concentrat pe fundamentele calității software-ului și pe dinamica echipelor distribuite. Alături de Kelly Blincoe și Alexander Serebrenik, acești editori aduc o perspectivă multidisciplinară asupra modului în care factorii sociali și tehnici interacționează în ecosistemele IT moderne, publicând lucrări de referință în conferințe internaționale de prestigiu.

Descriere scurtă

Creating an inclusive environment where different software developers can feel welcome and leverage their talents is an ethical imperative no company can ignore. Indeed, software organizations have in the last decade been trying to make changes for a more diverse and inclusive software development environment. The push for increased diversity in software has been a public one, from annual diversity reports by some of the worlds’ most visible companies such as Microsoft, Google, and Facebook, to large projects such as Linux Foundation’s Software Developer Diversity and Inclusion project that explores, evaluates, and promotes best practices from research and industry to increase diversity and inclusion in software engineering. Despite these many efforts, diversity remains low. Numbers from the software industry show that less than 25% of software engineers are women. Diversity is also low in regards to many other facets of diversity.
This book provides an overview of research into the different aspects of diversity and inclusion in software engineering, as well as the tools, methods, and practices proposed to foster diversity and to build inclusive software teams and development environments. It describes research challenges in studying diversity and inclusion in software.
Readers will be challenged to consider how they are contributing to a lack of inclusion and what they can do to improve inclusion in the software industry.
What You Will Learn
  • Aspects of diversity (e.g., age, culture, gender, race) and relationship to software engineering activities and outcomes
  • How to measure diversity
  • Investigations of intersectionality in software engineering
  • Research methods for the study of diversity and inclusion in software engineering
  • Empirical studies of effective practices to foster diversity and inclusion in software engineering
  • Interventions and programs that have been used to successfully support retention in software engineering
  • Software engineering education for diverse and inclusive software engineering, and proven teaching methods/environments that support diverse and inclusive software engineering
Who This Book Is For
For Researchers, the book presents a state-of-the-art collection of existing studies into many aspects of diversity, methods, and tools proposed and tried out in practice, challenges in research, and contributing to a research agenda on this topic for future studies.
For Industry practitioners, the book describes efforts to investigate diversity in software teams, whether in corporate or open source environments. It also describes empirical evidence about effectiveness of certain methods and approaches to foster diversity and inclusion in software development.
For Educators,the book describes practices and effective changes in Computer Science/Software Engineering curricula that were found as effective in engaging learners from minoritized groups, creating inclusive software teams that are diverse, and which relate to educational material useful for training for diversity, equity, and inclusion.
