012. July 16 to July 20

Planned tasks for this week

• task 1: create scripts for data processing ✔️
• task 2: figuring out if Gumtree can give us qualified api names ✔️
• task 3: continue working on a comparison summary with this paper and others we've looked at during this summer
• task 4: finish fixing graphs ⌛️

Progress

task 1

• wrote several scripts to get
  • number of problems by type, language, tag, stars, or API
  • code here
  • can write more as needed
  • update: added some input checking and made tag and range custom
• run client code using python3 DataBoxClient.py
  • need to have a yaml parser installed -- see links at top of DataBox class in folder

task 2

• Solved by Dr. Nadi
• mapping nodes via NodeFinder is simple, so we can create a script to automate finding api changes
• wrote a script to get API changes between files, adapted from sand's file
  • code here
  • also see notes in the comments

task 3

task 4

• fixed the zoom on main graphs graphs
• currently creating graphs with outliers removed
• also planning to swap .png files with code to make life easier

Other

• moved general practise problems to their own directory to make data more organized and easier to parse (i.e., we now have general-practise, api-related, project-specific as subdirectories of problems)

Open Problems

• new issues opened this week:
  • #16 [CLOSED]
  • #17

Things we discussed/agreed on

• exploring gumtree mapping -- done; see task 2
• looking at well-engineered projects to expand data
• adding custom range options to DataBox -- done
• adding more methods to DataBox
• presenting at PLSE

Next steps

• expand data using well-engineered projects
• finish fixing graphs
• continue paper
