Consistent Debate System (CDS)

Overview

The Consistent Debate System (CDS) is a blockchain-based platform designed to decentralize the code review process in software development. Leveraging the Ethereum blockchain, the DCRS introduces a Token Curated Registry (TCR) model to ensure transparent and unbiased code reviews. This system shifts the responsibility from a central maintainer to a distributed network of reviewers.

Features

• Smart Contract-based System: Utilizes Ethereum smart contracts for decentralized decision-making.
• Token Curated Registry: Incentivizes honest reviews and participation through a token-based system.
• Decentralized Voting: Allows for a transparent and democratic code review process.
• Complexity Metrics: Uses Cyclomatic Complexity and Halstead Difficulty to determine review time spans.

Requirements

• A modern web browser with JavaScript enabled.
• MetaMask extension installed for interacting with Ethereum blockchain.
• Some Ether in your MetaMask wallet for transaction fees (if deploying or interacting with the contract on the mainnet or testnet).

Using Remix for Testing

1. Open Remix: Visit Remix IDE in your web browser.
2. Create a New File: In the File Explorer tab, create a new file named TCR.sol.
3. Paste the Smart Contract: Copy the content of the TCR.sol smart contract and paste it into the newly created file in Remix.
4. Compile the Contract: Go to the Solidity Compiler tab and compile the TCR.sol smart contract.
5. Deploy the Contract:
   • Switch to the Deploy & Run Transactions tab.
   • Ensure that your environment is set to Injected Web3 to use MetaMask.
   • Click on the Deploy button to deploy the smart contract to the selected Ethereum network.

Interacting with the Smart Contract

• Assign to Group: Assign yourself to a group to participate in the review process.
• Vote: Cast your votes on the code submissions in each round.
• Create Objections and Rebuttals: Raise objections and rebuttals during the review process.
• Reclaim Tokens: Reclaim tokens as rewards based on your contributions and voting outcomes.
