Dataset of the Paper "Copilot-in-the-Loop: Fixing Code Smells in Copilot-Generated Python Code using Copilot"

This dataset contains a list of 102 code smells detected from Copilot-generated Python code, along with Python code files generated by Copilot from the Repositories and Code label, respectively. This dataset also includes Copilot Chat’s responses to fixing the 102 detected code smells. A brief description of each document and folder in the dataset is provided below:

1. files folder

contains 311 Python code files generated by Copilot. In the 311 Python files, 171 are retrieved under the Repositories label, indicating Python code files entirely generated by Copilot, and 140 are retrieved under the Code label, indicating Python code snippets generated by Copilot.

2. results of RQ1.xlsx

contains a list of 102 code smells detected from Copilot-generated Python code.

3. results of RQ2.xlsx

contains Copilot Chat’s responses to fixing the detected 102 code smells instructed by three prompts of varying detail levels.
