Assessing Mock Classes: An Empirical Study Data
Objective
This repository contains the data extracted from 12 open-source projects regarding Java classes that was used to make the paper Assessing Mock Classes: An Empirical Study Data, by Gustavo Pereira and André Hora, accepted for publication at the 36th IEEE International Conference on Software Maintenance and Evolution.
Description
The data is contained in a text file separated by semicolons (';'). Each row describes the features of a single Java class. It has fifteen columns:
-
ProjectName: String representing the project's name, stated as its name on GitHub
-
Filename: String representing the name (path) of the file that contains the class
-
Classname: String representing the name of the class
-
LOC: Integer representing the number of code lines of the class
-
Visibility: Indicates the Java visibility of the class (
private
,protected
,package
orpublic
) -
IsMock: Boolean (
True
orFalse
) representing whether the class is classified as mock class by the paper's heuristic or not -
Extensions: Integer (
0
or1
) representing how many classes the current one extends -
Implementations: Integer (
0+
) representing how many interfaces the current classs implements -
PrivateMethods: Integer (
0+
) representing how many private methods the class have -
ProtectedMethods: Integer (
0+
) representing how many protected methods the class have -
PackageMethods: Integer (
0+
) representing how many package methods the class have -
PublicMethods: Integer (
0+
) representing how many public methods the class have -
TotalMethods: Integer (
0+
) representing how many methods in total the class have regardless of their visibilities -
IsStaticClass: Boolean (
True
orFalse
) representing whether the class is or not static -
MethodOverrides: Integer (
0+
) representing how many of the class' methods are overriding others
