REDUSE - Will it Work on My Machine?\\A Study on Reproducibility Smells in Ansible Scripts

A study on reproducibility smells
This study, first, identifies such programming practices
that we refer to as reproducibility smells by conducting a comprehensive multi-vocal review. We implement a tool viz. REDUSE to identify reproducibility smells in Ansible scripts. Furthermore, we carry out an empirical study to reveal the proliferation of reproducibility smells in open-source projects and explore correlation and co-occurrence relationships among them. 

This tool detects programming practices, referred to as productivity smells, in Ansible scripts that can lead to reproducibility issues.

What is this tool?
This is a detection tool, designed to detect reproducibility smells in a pattern based mode.
You can provide your ansible script in .yml format and get a .csv output containing task name, task number, smell name, reason of having the smell on  the task.
