Logical Coupling - Mining

Hello,

I've been using the code-maat tool to mine features from a git repository, especially the logic coupling. What I'm facing is the scenario that I want to mine the coupling changes over a time. So what I'm wondering is if it's possible to get all couplings by just running on the latest revision? Or do I need to do as I'm doing now and run the tool on each revision and then track the coupling changes myself?

Best regards,

Oscar

Hi @wogscpar

You could generate several Git logs using the --before and --after options to specify a date interval of interest. Then you run code-maat on each of those log files, which should allow you to detect trends.

Does this answer your question?

Hello @adamtornhill,

Almost. That's how I'm doing it today. The question is more if code-maat is executed on the latest revision, would it be possible for it to output the same result as if it would be executed on each individual log?

Yes, it would be possible to implement such trends, but the support isn't there today. For example, code-maat could be expanded to take --beforeand --after arguments too, and use them to do the filtering of a full log based on the latest revision. That would save the roundtrip to git for each log.
