apply new data

[kevinGit777]

hi,

I really like your work! I would like to apply this project to my own data for the mining and evaluation after that.
I need help on how can I apply the mining stage to my data, so any instruction for how can I do that?
Thanks a lot!

Regard,
Haifan Wu

Hi Haifan,

Thanks for your interest in our work. The mining stage of SimFix was separately implemented atop the backbone of SimFix, i.e., we use the same AST matching algorithm in SimFix to extract code changes for subsequent statistical analysis. Currently, the frequently used changes mined from historical patches for filtering are hard-coded. Therefore, some work will be needed to update them. If you would like to , hopefully the following guidance can help.

• Working on the delwhitelist branch, called SimFix-origin.
• Updating SimFix-origin to make it output code changes when fed with buggy-fixed methods, i.e., it can be used to mining frequent code changes.
• Applying the frequent code changes to filter modifications generated while SimFix-origin performing repair.
