摘要

在本文中，我们研究了如何在数千个软件包中使用面向对象的类。我们专注于“使用多样性”，定义为在同一对象上调用的方法的不同静态可观察组合。我们提供的经验证据表明，在许多类别中存在显著的使用多样性。例如，我们在数据集中观察到Java的String以2460种方式使用。我们讨论了这种观察到的多样性的原因以及对软件工程知识和研究的影响。

Empirical evidence of large-scale diversity in API usage of object-oriented software

In this paper, we study how object-oriented classes are used across thousands of software packages. We concentrate on “usage diversity”, defined as the different statically observable combinations of methods called on the same object. We present empirical evidence that there is a significant usage diversity for many classes. For instance, we observe in our dataset that Java's String is used in 2460 manners. We discuss the reasons of this observed diversity and the consequences on software engineering knowledge and research.
