Abstract :
Software repositories (such as source control repositories) contain a wealth of valuable information regarding the evolutionary history of a software project. This paper presents approaches and tools which mine and transform static record keeping software repositories to active repositories used by researchers to gain empirically based understanding of software development, and by practitioners to predict, plan and understand various aspects of their project. Our work is validated empirically using data based on over 60 years of development history for several open source projects
