Strategies to mitigate differences between environments using Rapid Review on Grey Literature

The comparison spreadsheet serves as a comprehensive repository for organizing and synthesizing data extracted from Grey Literature sources. It contains coded information related to strategies for mitigating configuration differences in software development, allowing for a systematic analysis of the identified practices. The spreadsheet links to different sections of the paper by providing a structured framework for data analysis. In the 'Data synthesis' section, the spreadsheet supports a mixed-method approach, combining qualitative and quantitative methods for analyzing the data. It aids in thematic analysis by translating codes into themes and creating higher-order themes for a more in-depth understanding of the collected data. Additionally, the spreadsheet connects to the 'Extract and Code data' section, where it houses all relevant codes and facilitates discussions on pertinent information extracted from Grey Literature sources. By referencing unique identifiers within the spreadsheet, researchers can track and link specific entries to the research questions, ensuring alignment with the study's objectives. Overall, the comparison spreadsheet plays a pivotal role in organizing, analyzing, and synthesizing data from Grey Literature sources, contributing to the robustness and coherence of the research findings presented in the paper.
