CSC517 Final Project - E1744 Github Metrics

(asorgiu, george2, mdunlap, ygou14)


Proposed Design Document

Description

We will add a new feature to provide Expertiza with Github metrics (for example, number of committers, number of commits, number of lines of code modified, number of lines added, number of lines deleted.) from each group’s submitted repo link. This information should prove useful for differentiating the performance of team members for grading purposes. It may also help instructors to predict which projects are likely to be merged.

Work to be done

This project is divided into two parts. One is to extract Github metadata of the submitted repos and pull requests. The second part is to build a classifier (e.g., Bayesian) to do the early prediction on some projects that are likely to fail. This prediction is based on more than 200 past projects. The features above should be used, together with some temporal features (e.g. the temporal pattern of this team’s commits so far). Eventually, we would like to e-mail students whose metrics are bad, giving them advice on how to improve.

Extract Github metadata

Use Cases
Data Flow
Architectural Design
UML
Database Schema Changes

A new table called github_contributors is created to store the data for each committer. The table contain's the committer's email, github_id and all the metrics associated with a project. At the moment we handle the following metrics:

  • Committer email - commiter_url
  • Committer id - commiter_id
  • Total number of commits - total_commits
  • Number of files changed - files_changed
  • Lines of code changed - lines_changed
  • Lines of code added - lines_added
  • Lines of code removed - lines_removed
  • Lines of code added that survived until final submission - lines_persisted.

An index on committer_id is added to enable search.

A new table called submission_records_github_contributors which acts as a reference between the submission_records and github_contributors tables. It has two columns:

  • github_contributor_id - Foreign Key to github_contributors table.
  • submission_record_id - Foreign Key to submission_records table.

A composite unique key constraint is added on github_contributor_id and submission_record_id.

Build a classifier

THIS WILL NOT BE IMPLEMENTED AS PART OF THIS PROJECT. This is future work to be done.
