STBD stands for Source, Test, Build, Documentation
We propose a technique for characterizing developer behaviour and focus around events such as major releases, minor releases or milestones.
By breaking down revisions into four categories:
- Source
- Test
- Build
- Documentation We can quickly and easily reason about development histories.
