official Msc. thesis name: Statement Tracking in Version Control Systems
Introduction
- This project is result of cooperation between NetBeans, Codeviation project and CTU - Faculty of Electrical Engineering.
- Introduction to problem and description of Msc. thesis can be found in Codeviation project wiki page (an early version of thesis, will be updated later).
Current main goal
- Design an algorithm for tracking the movement of statements in version control systems, i.e. given a statement present in an old version of the codebase, it determines its location (if it still exists) in the new one. Implement a plugin for NetBeans IDE that utilizes this algorithm.
- Use trunk build of NetBeans during development and file issues when problems occur.
Checkpoint 1 - Deadline 15th September?
- presentation slides (CZ)
- Implement prototype of NetBeans? Plug-in, which will be able to track method from ex. reporter stacktrace to current sources and open corresponding file in today's sources.
- Do more measurements (count of surviving methods between releases, six months, year, etc).
- Try to track renamed methods.
Work plan
- Done:
- generate AST of all java files, which can be foung in NetBeans mercurial repository and save method signatures to data structures, which are suitable for fast searching
- measure, how much method signatures survive over selected time period (2 months) - it is nearly 90%, so method signatures are very helpful in search for new statement's location
- Todo:
- try to track methods, which were renamed in the 2 months period - use method calls from other methods and try to find similarities
- begin with integrating to NetBeans source
