虽然软件中性别包容性的需求正在引起SE研究人员和SE从业者的关注，并且至少有一种方法（GenderMag）已经发布，以提供帮助，但关于如何使这些方法在现实世界中发挥作用的报道很少。现实世界中的团队总是注意在现有过程之上添加新方法的实用性。例如，他们如何保持时间成本的可行性？他们如何最大限度地发挥使用它的影响？在谈论性别时可能出现的争议怎么办？为了找出“在战壕中”的软件团队如何处理这些和类似的问题，我们收集了10个真实世界的软件团队（超过50人）的基于GenderMag-based的过程，时间从5个月到3.5年不等。我们以9种实践、2个潜在陷阱和2个开放问题的形式展示了这些团队的见解和经验，以便为其他试图将性别包容性设计到软件产品中的现实软件团队提供他们的见解。
Although the need for gender-inclusivity in software is gaining attention among SE researchers and SE practitioners, and at least one method (GenderMag) has been published to help, little has been reported on how to make such methods work in real-world settings. Real-world teams are ever-mindful of the practicalities of adding new methods on top of their existing processes. For example, how can they keep the time costs viable? How can they maximize impacts of using it? What about controversies that can arise in talking about gender? To find out how software teams "in the trenches" handle these and similar questions, we collected the GenderMag-based processes of 10 real-world software teams---more than 50 people---for periods ranging from 5 months to 3.5 years. We present these teams' insights and experiences in the form of 9 practices, 2 potential pitfalls, and 2 open issues, so as to provide their insights to other real-world software teams trying to engineer gender-inclusivity into their software products.
