Using acceptance tests to predict files changed by programming tasks

RQ4: Is TestI a better code change predictor than TextI?



TestI has better recall but inferior precision than TextI



Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test applied to precision and recall measures of ITest and IText
Hypothesis pvalue r
TestI-NF precision = TextI-NF precision 2.7e-37 0.59
TestI-NF recall = TextI-NF recall 3.4e-04 0.17
TestI-CF precision = TextI-CF precision 5.2e-15 0.36
TestI-CF recall = TextI-CF recall 1.2e-06 0.23
