What it takes to strengthen third-party dependency management in a software ecosystem?

Thesis project description

What developer hasn’t heard of Dependency Hell or struggled with dependency management? 

In my experience in the industry, I was frequently faced with lack of guidelines, prioritization and updates automation of the software dependencies that lead to severe complications in completing software. 

Hence, this experience sparked my interest in conducting empirical research addressing dependency management practices. For this, I’m looking for a company that is interested in learning about research insights, potential threads and opportunities that are driven by their methods and processes in regard to dependency management.

Managerial value of the research
