Abstract

GitHub projects may contain many issues and issues comments. A particular class of issue we have identified and classified in our recent work are “human-centric issues” – issues that relate to human characteristics of end users and need to be identified, tracked and managed in different ways to other issues. We introduce a novel dashboard that categorises and tags issues from a GitHub repository into human-centric issue categories, and presents them in a variety of visual forms to software practitioners. Using the dashboard, human-centric issues can be prioritised, tracked, and the machine learning-generated classifications can be over-ridden. To reflect these interactions, associated GitHub tags are updated while the user interacts with our dashboard. A user study of our dashboard prototype shows its potential for human-centric issue management in GitHub.

Keywords: github, issue comments, visualisation, human-centric issues
