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.
