User Study: Identification of breaking changes in clients

Welcome to the user study on analyzing breaking dependency updates in a Java project using Maven! In this study, we will explore how to identify compilation failures using the resources provided in this repository.

Study Objective

• Identify compilation failures in a Java project using logs generated by Maven.
• Understand the bugs provided in a Java project through detailed explanations.

Available Resources

In this repository, you will find the following resources in each Case folder:

1. Java project Folder that contains the Java project that has compilation failures.
2. Maven Logs maven.log:
   • The maven.log file contains Maven-generated logs during the build process of the original project. Participants are required to identify and count the number of breakages based on this file.
3. Explanations Explanation.md:
   • The Explanation.md file provides detailed explanations for each breaking update that was present in the project. Participants should use this explanation to identify each failure.
