On Designing Better Tools for Learning APIs
Adrian Kuhn, Robert DeLine
Modern software development requires a large investment in learning application programming interfaces (APIs). Recent research found that the learning materials themselves are ofte…
On Extracting Unit Tests from Interactive Programming Sessions
Adrian Kuhn
Software engineering methodologies propose that developers should capture their efforts in ensuring that programs run correctly in repeatable and automated artifacts, such as unit…
Lessons Learned from Evaluating MDE Abstractions in an Industry Case Study
Adrian Kuhn, Gail C. Murphy
In a recent empirical study we found that evaluating abstractions of Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) is not as straight forward as it might seem. In this paper, we report on the cha…
Consistent Layout for Thematic Software Maps
Adrian Kuhn, Peter Loretan, Oscar Nierstrasz
Software visualizations can provide a concise overview of a complex software system. Unfortunately, since software has no physical shape, there is no "natural" mapping of software…
An Exploratory Study of Forces and Frictions affecting Large-Scale Model-Driven Development
Adrian Kuhn, Gail C. Murphy, C. Albert Thompson
In this paper, we investigate model-driven engineering, reporting on an exploratory case-study conducted at a large automotive company. The study consisted of interviews with 20 en…
Embedding Spatial Software Visualization in the IDE: an Exploratory Study
Adrian Kuhn, David Erni, Oscar Nierstrasz
Software visualization can be of great use for understanding and exploring a software system in an intuitive manner. Spatial representation of software is a promising approach of i…
Empowering Collections with Swarm Behavior
Adrian Kuhn, David Erni, Marcus Denker
Often, when modelling a system there are properties and operations that are related to a group of objects rather than to a single object. In this paper we extend Java with Swarm Be…
A Trustability Metric for Code Search based on Developer Karma
Florian S. Gysin, Adrian Kuhn
The promise of search-driven development is that developers will save time and resources by reusing external code in their local projects. To efficiently integrate this code, users…
Towards Improving the Mental Model of Software Developers through Cartographic Visualization
Adrian Kuhn, David Erni, Oscar Nierstrasz
Software is intangible and knowledge about software systems is typically tacit. The mental model of software developers is thus an important factor in software engineering. It is o…
