Tool-Suite Pipeline Overview

CC BY

• Paper config groups together case studies.

• Case studies map revisions and configurations to projects.

• Artefacts specification specifies which and how artefacts should be generated.

• Projects are wrappers around software projects.

• Automatically execute defined experiments on different projects.

• Experiments represent a flow of actions to evaluate a project.

• Reports are the output of an experiment and containt all relevant results.

• Data cache is a extra caching layer to speed up data handling.

• Plots visualize generated data.

• Tables generate , e.g, latex booktabs code, to be embedded in a paper.
