Context-based search to overcome learning barriers in software development
Joel Cordeiro, Bruno Antunes, Paulo Gomes · 2012
During the software development process, developers are often faced with problem solving situations that motivate the use of the Web to search for information. However, there is a gap between the IDE and the Web, requiring the developers to spend significant time searching for relevant information and navigating through web pages in a Web browser. We propose a tool that aim to aid developers overcoming the learning barriers that exist when working with technologies that they do not master, facilitating the access to question/answer web resources through a context-based search interface, integrated in the IDE. We present an example of use, to better understand our approach.
