Thank you for your interest in contributing! This document outlines the process for contributing to our project. Your contributions can make a real difference, and we appreciate every effort you make to help improve this project.
- Identify your target software engineering task (Unfamiliar with SE tasks? Find them here!)
You can either choose to integrate an existing evaluation technique or add a new evaluation technique.
Note, there could be evaluation tasks that are currently being worked on. Check the pull requests tab to see if a task is already in the works
- Integrate the evaluation method
Ensure that you have a detailed readme that describes how to use the evaluation method.
An example of an evaluation method and appropriate readme can be found here.
- Add a test script for you evaluation
In order to ensure the validity of the evaluation method, we require that you provide a test script as well.
There is a separate test folder that you must add your tests to. We also ask that you provide a 'how-to-test' section in your readme, detailing how to test the evaluation method.
An example test script can be found here.
