dc.description.abstractOur paper published in the proceedings of the 33rd European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2019) proposes NAB, a novel framework to execute custom dynamic analysis on open-source software hosted in public repositories. The publication is complemented by an accepted artifact. Analyzing today’s large code repositories has become an important research area for understanding and improving different aspects of modern software systems. Despite the presence of a large body of work on mining code repositories through static analysis, studies applying dynamic analysis to open-source projects are scarce and of limited scale. Nonetheless, being able to apply dynamic analysis to the projects hosted in public code repositories is fundamental for large-scale studies on the runtime behavior of applications, which can greatly benefit the programming-language and software-engineering communities. NAB is fully automatic, language-agnostic, and scalable. We describe NAB’s key features and architecture. We also present three case studies on more than 56K Node.js, Java, and Scala projects, enabling us to 1) understand how developers use JavaScript Promises, 2) identify bad coding practices in JavaScript applications, and 3) locate task-parallel Java and Scala workloads suitable for inclusion in a domain-specific benchmark suite. A preliminary version of NAB is available at http://dag.inf.usi.ch/software/nab/en
