Combining Text Mining and Visualization Techniques to Study Teams´ Behavioral Processes

There is growing interest in mining software repository data to understand, and predict, various aspects of team processes. In particular, text mining and natural-language processing (NLP) techniques have supported such efforts. Visualization may also supplement text mining to reveal unique multi-dimensional insights into software teams´ behavioral processes. We demonstrate the utility of combining these approaches in this study. Future application of these methods to the study of teams´ behavioral processes offers promise for both research and practice.
