Gestión integrada de la revisión por pares en el proceso de desarrollo de un proyecto web cuatrimestral

Abstract

This article presents a teaching experience based onthe use of peer review (PR), along with self-assess-ments of the reviewer groups. These reviews are to-tally oriented to the improvement of the quality of thepractical developments of the subject Web Systemswithin the Software Engineering specialty. In thissubject, weekly deliveries of functionalities of a webproject are made and three reviews of the project areplanned. Once the reviews have been performed, wehave found that, assigning developments of similar orhigher quality to reviewers, the interest in carryingout this activity increases considerably. We have alsonoticed that, after the second peer review, in weekseven, the quality of the developments of the groupswith some deficiencies increases in general in the fol-lowing deliveries.Another issue, directly related to reviews, is the iden-tification of groups that must migrate either compul-sorily or optionally to a project selected by teachers,based on the assessments of their own peers. Self-evaluation helps to identify deficiencies with respectto the projects of their reviewed peers, deficienciesthat make it difficult to accomplish the next deliver-ies. Once migration has been performed, it can beseen that those groups have mostly been able to com-plete the deliveries with a higher level of correction.This article describes in detail the planning and devel-opment of the reviews and the quantitative results ob-tained to support the conclusions
