Mining Library Migration Graphs

Software systems intensively depend on external libraries, chosen at conception time. However, relevance of any library irremediably changes during projects and/or library life cycle. This paper proposes an approach that identifies sets of similar libraries and produces library migration graphs that show how existing projects have performed migrations among them. These graphs, constructed from the observation of a large number of software projects, ease the discovery and selection of library replacements. The approach analyses modern software project management tools (Maven, Ivy, Gradle) where dependencies are explicit, to mine common migration rules.
