AndroLibZoo

# AndroLibZoo

This repository hosts the AndroLibZoo dataset and the artifacts used in our study on Android libraries.

## Artifacts

The artifacts folder contains all the artifacts, i.e., datasets, scripts, results, source code, etc., to reproduce our study and produce AndroLibZoo.

The file AndroLibZoo.lst is our dataset.

The subfolders in « AndroLibZoo »  are as follows:

The motivation folder contains all artifacts related to our motivation study (i.e., Section 3).

The methodology folder contains all artifacts related to our methodology (i.e., Section 4). In particular, we present:

How we gather libraries from Maven

How we gather libraries from Google

How we gather transitive dependencies

How we gather libraries from open source apps

How we gather libraries from Gradle plugin libraries

How we refined our list of libraries.

The description folder contains the artifacts useful to describe our dataset (i.e., Section 5).

The comparison folder holds the artifacts useful to compare our dataset with the state of the art (i.e., Section 6.a).

The importance folder holds the artifacts useful to highlight the importance of our AndroLibZoo to filter libraries for static analysis of Android apps (i.e., Section 6.b).

The evaluation folder holds the artifacts useful to show how AndroLibZoo improves existing static analyzers (i.e., Section 6.c).

The subfolders in « methodology_for_comparison_with_sota_list » contains the same folder as listed above but to produce the 2016 version of our dataset to compare against the state-of-the-art list.

The subfolders in « comparison_libradar » contain all the necessary files to compare our approach with libradar.

All folders contain scripts that start with "XX_", with XX being a number that represents the order in which scripts need to be executed. Some of the scripts need to be parametrized with names of servers, AndroZoo API keys, prefixes for Redis server, etc.
