Technical Reports Compilation: Detecting the Fire Drill anti-pattern using Source Code

This document is a compilation of three separate technical reports. In all detail, the development of a method for detecting the presence of so-called "anti-patterns" in software development projects is presented. The first technical report is concerned with this concrete problem, and it facilitates two major building blocks: The first is the application of a new method for time warping, called self-regularizing boundary time/amplitude warping (srBTAW). The second building block is a detailed walkthrough of creating a classifier for commits, based on source code density. Both these blocks have dedicated technical reports. All of the data, source code, and raw materials can be found online. These reports and resources are made available for reproduction purposes. The interested reader is welcome and enabled to re-run all of the computations and to extend our ideas.
