  • Modeling programmer navigation : an empirical evaluation of predictive models

    Creator:
    Piorkowski, David
    Abstract:
    Software developers frequently need to perform code maintenance tasks, but doing so requires time-consuming navigation through code. A variety of tools are aimed at easing this navigation by using models to predict places in the code that a developer might want to visit, and then providing shortcuts so that the...

  • Information Foraging Theory as a Unifying Foundation for Software Engineering Research : Connecting the Dots

    Creator:
    Piorkowski, David
    Abstract:
    Empirical studies have shown that programmers spend up to one-third of their time navigating through code during debugging. Although researchers have conducted empirical studies to understand programmers’ navigation difficulties and developed tools to address those difficulties, the resulting findings tend to be loosely connected to each other. To address this...
