Comparison of Static Analysis Architecture Recovery Tools for Microservice Applications

This is a replication package for the paper titled Comparison of Static Analysis Architecture Recovery Tools for Microservice Applications.

Repository structure

• analyzed_applications/ contains the microservice applications that the tools are evaluated on as submodules
• groundtruth_textual/ contains the groundtruth architectural models (dataflof diagrams / DFDs) of the applications that the tools are evaluated on as simple text documents
• helper_scripts/ contains some scripts we use to analyze the results
• processed_results/ contains quantifications of the tools' results, i.e., files for each tool indicating for each model item in the groundtruth whether the tool correctly extracted it or not
• raw_results/ contains the raw output of each tool after running them on the applications in the groundtruth
• tool_configs/ contains configuration information for some of the tools
• tool_execution_scripts/ contains a shell script per tool that can be used to execute the tool on each application in the groundtruth
