A static analysis tool depending on GumTree to detect 14 types of source code refactoring changes.
This is my undergraduate thesis project, please access the thesis report at Automatic Detection of Python API Changes.
Adding or removing the leading underscore in Python method names effects their accessibility, while def foo(): is public, def _foo(): is weakly private.
- public to weakly private
- weakly private to public
- no accessibility switch (normal update)
- Method insertion
- Method removal
- Method relocation
- Parameter insertion
- Parameter removal
- Parameter update
- normal update
- cls/self switch
- Parameter default value addition
- Parameter default value removal
- Parameter default value update
- Return type hint addition
- Return type hint removal
- Return type hint update
Currently only core is implemented, test cases in core/src/test/resources.
- Method renaming test cases: core/src/test/resources/test_src_mren.py & core/src/test/resources/test_dst_mren.py
- Method relocation test cases: core/src/test/resources/test_src_mrel.py & core/src/test/resources/test_dst_mrel.py
- Parameter changes & Parameter default value changes test cases: core/src/test/resources/test_src_param.py & core/src/test/resources/test_dst_param.py
- Return type changes test cases: core/src/test/resources/test_src_ret.py & core/src/test/resources/test_dst_ret.py
