The Codemaatimporter, generates visualisation data from CodeMaat Temporal Coupling CSV data with header. You can find the analysing tool on GitHub

Parameter

Parameter description
FILE codemaat coupling csv files
-h, --help displays help
-o, --outputFile=<outputFile> output File (or empty for stdout)
-nc, --not-compressed uncompresses outputfile to json format, if format of File is gzip

Metrics

Metric Description
pairingRate percentage value of the chance that given files are committed together
avgCommits amount of commits in which the given files were included

Usage

  1. Create VCS Log file from your project, e.x. with Git

     git log --pretty=format:'[%h] %an %ad %s' --since=<YYYY/MM/DD> --date=short --numstat > project.log ```

  2. Analyse the Log with CodeMaat in ‘coupling’ mode

     maat -c git -l project.log -a coupling > edges.csv

  3. Convert csv file to cc.json format with CodeMaatImporter

     ccsh codemaatimport edges.csv -o edges.cc.json
  4. Aggregate edge-attributes and insert them into the appropriate nodes attribute-list with EdgeFilter 
     ccsh edgefilter edges.cc.json -o visual_edges.cc.json

  5. Merge the coupling data with the project metrics file while using the MergeFilter

     ccsh merge visual_edges.cc.json metrics.cc.json -o merged.cc.json
  6. Visualizing merged.cc.json with Visualization
