Abstract [en]

Third-party dependency updates can cause a build to fail if the new dependency version introduces a change that is incompatible with the usage: this is called a breaking dependency update. Research on breaking dependency updates is active, with works on characterization, understanding, automatic repair of breaking updates, and other software engineering aspects. All such research projects require a benchmark of breaking updates that has the following properties: 1) it contains real-world breaking updates; 2) the breaking updates can be executed; 3) the benchmark provides stable scientific artifacts of breaking updates over time, a property we call 'reproducibility'. To the best of our knowledge, such a benchmark is missing. To address this problem, we present BUMP, a new benchmark that contains reproducible breaking dependency updates in the context of Java projects built with the Maven build system. BUMP contains 571 breaking dependency updates collected from 153 Java projects. BUMP ensures long-term reproducibility of dependency updates on different platforms, guaranteeing consistent build failures. We categorize the different causes of build breakage in BUMP, providing novel insights for future work on breaking update engineering. To our knowledge, BUMP is the first of its kind, providing hundreds of real-world breaking updates that have all been made reproducible.
