How do Programmers Forage through Variants? Modeling Hierarchical Foraging and Changelogs

Creator:

Pandya, Bhargav Chandravadan

Abstract:

Complex information environments are often organized as hierarchies. However, computational models of Information Foraging Theory (IFT) have almost entirely ignored this fact. Models and tools for predicting programmer navigations have ignored people’s foraging behavior across hierarchies —called hierarchical foraging. Without modeling hierarchical foraging, our ability to build tools to support...
