Replication Package for the Paper: "How Do Users Revise Architectural Related Questions on Stack Overflow: An Empirical Study"

<p>This is the replication package for the paper: "How Do Users Revise Architectural Related Questions on Stack Overflow: An Empirical Study". In the following, we provide a brief description of the folders and files:</p> <p><strong>(1) raw data</strong></p> <p>The raw data folder contains the retrieved 36,417 posts and the SQL query used for retrieving ARPs from Stack Overflow through the query interface provided by Stack Exchange.</p> <p><strong>(2) filtered ARPs</strong></p> <p>The filtered ARPs folder contains 13,205 filtered candidates ARPs from the retrieved 36,417 posts and the results of data analysis for the first RQ (i.e., RQ1).</p> <p><strong>(3) randomly selected posts and labeling results</strong></p> <p>The randomly selected posts and labeling results folder contains 1,068 randomly selected posts and their labeling results (i.e., 21 ARPs, wherein 14.3%, 3 out of 21 ARPs, do not contain &ldquo;architect*&rdquo; terms and 85.7%, 18 out of 21 APRs, contain &ldquo;architect*&rdquo; terms).</p> <p><strong>(4) relevant ARPs for answering RQs</strong></p> <p>The relevant ARPs for answering RQs folder contains 4,114 ARPs with revision information for answering the last three RQs (i.e., RQ2, RQ3, and RQ4).</p> <p><strong>(5) interview responses</strong></p> <p>The interview responses folder contains 11 collected interview responses from software practitioners. These responses were gathered to evaluate the identified categories related to ARQ revisions.</p> <p><strong>(6) data extraction and analysis</strong></p> <p>The data extraction and analysis folder contains the MAXQDA file. Data Labeling &amp; Encoding for RQs.mx20 is the results of data labeling and encoding for RQ2, RQ3, and RQ4, which were analyzed by the MAXQDA tool. This file can be opened by MAXQDA 2020 or higher versions, which are available at https://www.maxqda.com/ for download.
