2015 |
When do changes induce fixes? (MSR 2005) Jacek Sliwerski, Thomas Zimmermann, and Andreas Zeller “Prior software quality research focused on flagging files with bugs, but the SZZ algorithm by Sliwerski et al. was the first work to focus on flagging faulty changes. By flagging bugs before they get into the code, follow-up research has taken a preventive role instead of a catchup role.” Honorable Mention: Developer Identification Methods for Integrated Data from Various Sources Gregorio Robles and Jesus M. Gonzalez-Barahona “For their pioneering efforts in mining social information. Such information has been the catalyst for many research efforts throughout software engineering.” |
2014 |
Preprocessing CVS Data for Fine-Grained Analysis (MSR 2004) Thomas Zimmermann and Peter Weißgerber “For clearly and engagingly presenting practices that stood at the core of early MSR approaches, thus lowering the entry barrier for the researchers worldwide to join this emerging field.” |

Until 2015 the MSR conference recognized outstanding papers with MSR Best Paper Awards or in the case of multiple winners with MSR Distinguished Paper Awards. In 2015 the MSR conference awarded both MSR Best Paper and ACM SIGSOFT Distingusihed Paper Awards.
In an effort to encourage research on understanding and improving FOSS (Free, Open Source Software), MSR has established the “FOSS Impact paper” award. The award will be granted to papers that show outstanding contributions to the FOSS community.
