API Evolution Mining Service

Project Idea

API Evolution Miner si an existing tool that mines a project history to detect API changes. This tool is also capable of producing static analyzer rules that detect an old API usage in source code and provide a possibility to automatically change it to the new one.

Although the tool was proven to work well it was never used for two reasons:

While the first issue is currently mitigated by QualityAssistant, the second one still persists.

The goal of this project is to create a continuous integration service that will allow to easily register your projects and will provide rules to you in a semi-intrusive way when they are ready.
