Mining and Searching App Reviews for Requirements Engineering: Evaluation and Replication Studies

The repository shares a replication package for the study: J. Dąbrowski et al., "Mining and Searching App Reviews for Requirements Engineering: Evaluation and Replication Studies", Information Systems, March 2023. The package contains artefacts that we used in our study i.a., annotated datasets, our reimplementations of selected tools and supplementary scripts.

About

Goal

The goal of the study was to evaluate and compare approaches for mining feature-related information from app reviews. The study performed two experiments; the first experiment evaluated tools for mining user opinions. The second experiment evaluated tools for finding feature-relatd app reviews. We here provide the replication package for the study and the description of how to run the experiments.

Repository Structure

The repository contains two main directories:

• Study 1 - Opinion Mining/ : Files and the description of how to run the first experiment.
• Study 2 - Searching App Reviews/ : Files and the description of how to run the second experiment.
