Supports extracting data from a number of projects “on-demand”.from communication channels the community may be using) Covers a good number of data sources around the project (for sure Git and the issue/bug tracker but also other importers, e.g.There is even a conference devoted to this field of research.īut, so far, I haven’t been able to find a tool that Plenty of researchers ( ourselves included) focus on developing new theories on software engineering stemming from mined data. And it’s not because of a lack of interest in mining this data. to know how yours is doing compared to other “similar” ones), it’s almost impossible without investing too many hours. And if you want to analyze a number of projects (e.g. It’s actually quite difficult to easily get data out of Git/GitHub. GitHub) where your project resides.Īnd this is where problems start. Most times, this implies getting some meaningful data out of the Git repository and the code hosting platform (e.g. You shouldn’t reach any conclusion regarding the health of your project or the actions to take to improve it without a good look at the data describing the project evolution (in terms of code changes but also regarding the community changes, especially if we are looking at an open-source project). This is also true for any decision that affects your software projects. Any important decision should be grounded on data.
