Week 11 - Collecting Data

This Week

This week we are maturing our data collection implementations. We have prioritized our data candidates represented within the chromium projects. We are now in the process of finishing the loaders that are collecting the data previously mentioned. At the same time we are also refining them as well. The original model pre-defined for the commit logs was altered to better fit the information we want to collect.

We also began discussing ways to integrate data integrity checking within the project in order verify that the data being collected is appropriately structured and properly reflects the state of the Chromium project. Before implementing this into the project we are first identifying what we want to verify via the data integrity checking. The main elements being verified are the relationships established between models.

We are also beginning to scrape more of the Chromium project in order to begin actual research testing and metrics gathering. This also gives us the opportunity, in the same breath, to start testing the loaders on a larger data set and ensure that they are error free.

This project is sponsored by the Collaborative Research Experiences for Undergraduates, funded by the National Science Foundation.
