Raw data obtained from experiments

This page provides raw data obtained from the experiments. The data are provided in the same order as they are discussed in the paper

All experiments were performed on Linux.

6.1. Program Distribution Completeness

Obtain data: Number of program versions: Number of programs with missing JUnit Number of project versions referencing "sun" (34) and "com.sun" (82) packages

6.2. Horizontal Compatibility

Results summarised in: merged-compatibility-problems.ods The table contains merged data for corpus only and Maven projects. Raw data for each project: compatibility-problems-merged.zip These raw data were used for manual analysis of significant results.

6.3. Vertical Compatibility – Binary and Source Incompatible Changes, 6.4. Vertical Compatibility – Binary Incompatible but Source Compatible Changes

Results summarised in: api-incompatibilities.ods Raw data for each project: api-evaluation-results.zip These raw data were used for manual analysis of significant results.

6.5. Impact on Horizontal Incompatibility

Number of dependencies used for experiments = number of lines in files: Results summarised and number of obtained experiments (number of lines in files): Detailed analysis obtained manually from raw experiment data:
