Cassandra Replication Kit

The replication kit for the research paper "An Automated Approach to Identify Source Code Files Affected by Architectural Technical Debt" includes the necessary resources to replicate the study. It contains the following components: Steps of the Approach: This document outlines the step-by-step procedure followed in the research to identify source code files affected by architectural technical debt. It provides a detailed explanation of the methodology, techniques, and tools used in the study. Data: The replication kit includes the dataset used in the research. It consists of a collection of source code files from different software projects, which were analyzed to identify architectural technical debt. The dataset may be provided in a specific format or structure for ease of replication. Scripts: The kit contains the scripts used to analyze the source code files and detect architectural technical debt. These scripts may include code snippets, software tools, or custom algorithms developed for the research. They enable the automation of the identification process and facilitate reproducibility. Prototype: The replication kit may include a prototype or a sample implementation of the automated approach to identify source code files affected by architectural technical debt. This prototype serves as an example to demonstrate the practical application of the approach and provides insights into its functionality. By providing these components, the replication kit enables other researchers and practitioners to reproduce the study, validate the findings, and further extend the research in the area of identifying and managing architectural technical debt in source code files.
