Uma ferramenta para mineração de dados de projetos de software livre e criação de redes sócio-técnicas

Abstract

A large amount of data –commit messages, mailing lists, issue and bug managers –is produced during the software development. In this scenario it is important to have tools that help the understanding of real project status. To solve this problem there are tools that assist in mining the data efficiently. But these tools are inflexible and created to act in specific fields. In this work we developed an architecture that allows data collection software project hosted on GitHub, network generation and calculation of metrics social, technical and socio-technical. Thus, the tool leaves room for researchers and project owners add extensions that solve their own problems, such as: providing a platform for researchers to implement their own networks and metrics; facilitate the understanding of the real situation of a software development project; and provide for the discovery of trends in a software project.
