Abstract

There exists a large number of research works analyzing questions and answers on the popular Stack Overflow website. However, other sub-sites of the Stack Exchange platform are studied rarely. In this paper, we analyze the questions and answers on the Software Engineering Stack Exchange site that encompasses a broader set of areas, such as testing or software processes. Topics and quantities of the questions, historical trends, and the authors' sentiment were analyzed using downloaded datasets. We found that the asked questions are most frequently related to database systems, quality assurance, and agile software development. The most attractive topics were career and teamwork problems, and the least attractive ones were network programming and software modeling. Historically, the topic of domain-driven design recorded the highest rise, and jobs and career the most significant fall. The number of new questions dropped, while the portion of unanswered ones increased.

关于Stack Exchange的软件工程师问答
在流行的Stack Overflow网站上有大量分析问题和答案的研究工作。然而,对Stack Exchange平台的其他子站点的研究却很少。在本文中,我们分析了软件工程堆栈交换站点上的问题和答案,该站点包含了更广泛的领域,例如测试或软件过程。使用下载的数据集分析问题的主题和数量、历史趋势和作者的情绪。我们发现被问到的问题最常与数据库系统、质量保证和敏捷软件开发相关。最吸引人的话题是职业和团队问题,最不吸引人的话题是网络编程和软件建模。从历史上看,领域驱动设计的话题记录了最高的增长,而工作和职业的下降最为显著。新问题的数量减少了,而未回答问题的比例增加了。
