Automated Categorisation of Breaking Merge Commits (Work in Progress)

Ward Muylaert; Coen De Roover

Abstract

Integrating code from different sources can be an error-prone and effort-intensive process.
While an integration may appear sound, unexpected errors may still surface at run time.
What exactly constitutes these errors is not always clear, nor is it known which are most common.
We want to create a hierarchic categorisation of errors that break merge commits.
We will do this in two phases.
First, a manual categorisation to enable the definition of categories based on real world examples.
Second, a declarative specification of every category to automate categorisation and enable performing an empirical study.
