Query: Exploring software developers' work practices: Task differences,
  participation, engagement, and speed of task resolution   In seeking to understand the processes enacted during software development,
an increasing number of studies have mined software repositories. In
particular, studies have endeavored to show how teams resolve software defects.
Although much of this work has been useful, we contend that large-scale
examinations across the range of activities that are commonly performed, beyond
defect-related issues alone, would help us to more fully understand the reasons
why defects occur as well as their consequences. More generally, these
explorations would reveal how team processes occur during all software
development efforts. We thus extend such studies by investigating how software
practitioners work while undertaking the range of software tasks that are
typically performed. Multiple forms of analyses of a longitudinal case study
reveal that software practitioners were mostly involved in fixing defects, and
that their engagement covaried depending on the nature of the work they were
performing. Furthermore, multiple external factors affected speed of task
resolution. Our outcomes suggest that behavioral and intrinsic issues may
interact with extrinsic factors becoming significant predictors of the speed of
software task resolution.
