pre-print
The migration process between different third-party software libraries is hard, complex and error-prone. Typically, during a library migration process, developers opt to replace methods from the retired library with other methods from a new library without altering the software behavior. However, the extent to which such a migration process to new libraries will be rewarded with an improved software quality is still unknown. In this paper, we aim at studying and analyzing the impact of library
