Rapid Release Systematic Literature Review

We conducted a systematic literature review to identify and compare the primary works that study rapid release with traditional releases. A systematic literature review is a secondary study to identify, evaluate, and interpret all available research about a particular research question, topic, or phenomenon 1. According to Kitchenham2, the systematic literature review differs from other regular \textit{ad hoc} literature reviews because it comprises a methodologically rigorous process to aggregate all the existing evidence on a research topic and intends to support the development of evidence-based analysis.

We ran the systematic literature review through snowballing 3. In snowballing, we first selected a start set of relevant works. Then, we discovered other relevant work by analyzing the papers they cited (i.e., backward snowballing) and those that cited them (i.e., forward snowballing). We repeated this process to increase the coverage of our systematic literature review and achieve a higher recall \citep{Mourao2020}.

This replication package includes the BibTex files we used to organize and track the snowballing process, including the papers that were excluded from our systematic literature review. The replication package also contains a summary of selected papers that compose our systematic literature review.

Instructions

Use JabRef to open the rapid-release-review.bib. The tool enables navigating through the steps of the systematic review. We categorized the papers found in each forward and backward snowballing.

The record folder summarizes the studies results. The round_n folders summarize the backward and forward snowballing of each paper.
