How Human-centered Tools and Processes Can Improve Software Development

Modern software engineering in research is increasingly assisted by a plethora of sophisticated development tools. In this presentation, we will take a look at typical tooling and automation processes. Motivated by a human-centric approach for development, we will discuss selected challenges and solutions for open teams in their interactions. On the technical side, will cover aspects of development for C++/Python, testing, review, team coordination and support mechanisms.
