The criteria you mention sound a bit academic. Isn't the real reason of the combined change rather that the classes are connected to each other? I also do not yet get what the use cases for the prediction are. Of course it is interesting that you can predict such changes but what can be done

Hi Christian. Thanks for answer. Your first question is interesting. Usually this is the natural reason why we changed two files. We are always expecting some kind of structural connection between classes (eg implements, extends, instantiation, etc.). However we found many cases (issues) with comm

Hi What would also be interesting if your tool can say, this is a list of modules which are most actively developed in a given project (based on a number/frequency of changes to a given module) and as a next step - some hints on what does it mean with respect to a given technology. So if you

Thanks for the explanations. I think the idea of giving people some hint that classes are connected (according to your rules) makes a lot of sense. Like you said this can help newcomers to navigate around the code. For this purpose an IDE plugin makes sense. I am not sure about the review par

Thanks Sergey. This could be a good "next Step". I will think about it :-) And, how about the recommendations while you are performing changes? Do you think that based in the accuracy that we reported would be good to use some tool to help you in your tasks? It is difficult to you find files to ch

Well, the long term contributors usually know how the files are connected but I agree with Christian it might help the newcomers navigate via a project, etc Cheers, Sergey On 10/12/15 14:05, igorwiese wrote: Thanks Sergey. This could be a good "next Step". I will think about it :-) And, how ab

Hi Christian. Thank you again. You gave me good insights and ideas. In fact there is other researcher checking if there are relation between direct and "not direct" connections between classes and comparing then with code changes. We found that structural dependencies are not "good predictors" to
