Description

This is the supplementary material repository for paper "Designing Abandabot: When Does Open Source Dependency Abandonment Matter?"

It contains the following:

* The full source code for our Abandabot-Predict prototype (see below for documentation)
* The need finding interview protocol ([need-finding-interview-protocol.pdf](need-finding-interview-protocol.pdf))
* The survey template for human evaluation of Abandabot-Predict ([survey-template.pdf](survey-template.pdf))
* An appendix reporting: (a) the prototype used in the need finding interview, and (b) aggregated participant agreement with Abandabot-Predict judgements per predicted class ([APPENDIX.md](APPENDIX.md))

It does not contain the following due to the confidential requirements of our interviews:

* Interview transcripts
* The ground truth data we used for Abandabot-Predict evaluation (as it would be obvious from the data who attended our interviews)

However, we provide the raw output from Abandabot-Predict inside the [`output/`](output) folder for a wide variety of popular JavaScript/TypeScript projects. They might be useful for follow-up research.
