A Replication Package for Contentious Patch Analysis

[SUMMARY]To enable future studies, we have made a replication package available here, which includes the quantitative and qualitative data, and more detailed hierarchies of the reasons for abandonment and integration of contentious patches (omitted in the paper due to space limitations).<br>[Quantitative Analysis (RQ1, RQ2, and RQ3)]- <i>RQ1_RQ3.zip</i> consists of the raw datasets and R script that replicate the graphs in our quantitative analysis.In order to replicate the figure 5, figure 6, and figure 7 in Section III, you are able to run the command below:“Rscript trendAnalysis_RQ1RQ2RQ3.R”This script generates figure 5, figure 6, and figure 7 in the same place as the script.<br>[Qualitative Analysis (RQ4 and RQ5)]- <i>RQ4_RQ5.zip</i> consists of two labeled contentious review datasets and two labeled non-contentious review datasets in each subject system (Nova and Qtbase).(Example 1) <i>Abandoned contentious patches in Nova: </i>Please go into ‘contention_spsn_snsp’ directory. Then you can find the targeting file “nova_labeled_abandoned_spsn_snsp.csv”(Example 2) <i>Integrated NON-contentious patches in QtBase: </i>Please go into ‘non’ directory. Then you can find the targeting file “qtbase_labeled_integrated_non.csv”<br>[The Detailed Taxonomies (RQ4 and RQ5)]<i>Contention_NonContention_Comparison.pdf</i> consists of two taxonomies that explain the detailed reviewer concerns.- Table 1 shows the taxonomy that explains the reviewer concerns that raise contention in abandoned contentious (SP-SN and SN-SP) reviews. In addition to it, this table also does reviewer concerns that were raised without contention in abandoned non-contentious reviews.<br>- Table 2 shows the taxonomy that explains how reviewers resolve contention in integrated contentious (SP-SN and SN-SP) reviews. In addition to it, this table also does reviewer concerns that were raised without contention in integrated non-contentious reviews.
