		- GitHub Actions is a GitHub technology providing CI/CD [[SERVICES]] for automated building, testing, quality analysis, [[code]] [[Comments]], etc.
		- ((64537c9b-64fd-4e72-b520-c5f84f8f6a8c))
		- Empirical studies have found that GitHub Actions are becoming more popular than other CI/CD tools such as Travise, CircleCI, and Azure. Qualitative studies comprehending the underlying factors driving such a tranformation have also been performed.
		- ==Configuring and debugging workflow files is one of the most common difficulties encountered [[by]] users of GitHub Actions.==
	- [[Comments]]
		- The [[paper]] presents an empirical analysis to answer two research [[GOALS]], i.e., characterizing Actions that are available in the GitHub marketplace, and analyzing the dependency characteristics of GitHub Actions, [[by]] distinguishing those in JavaScript, in Docker, and composite ones.
		- I enjoyed reading this [[paper]], which is well-written and structured. I like the way the [[authors]] have performed the study and the found insights are very relevant for the event

		- RIVISTA
			- This [[paper]] provides an empirical analysis that seeks to answer two research [[GOALS]]. Firstly, it characterizes the actions available in the GitHub marketplace. Secondly, it analyzes the dependency characteristics of GitHub Actions [[by]] distinguishing those in JavaScript, Docker, and composite ones.
			- I found the [[paper]] to be well-written and structured, and I enjoyed reading it. The study is well-designed and conducted, and the insights determined [[by]] the [[authors]] are highly relevant to the event.
