Tracking Developers' Eyes in the IDE
Bonita Sharif, Tim Shaffer, Jenna Wise, Jonathan I. Maletic · IEEE Software · 2016
With recorded eye gaze sessions, researchers will be able to determine all the locations that developers examine in software development artifacts. This will pave the way to further improve IDEs to support developers in various software engineering tasks. Toward that goal, researchers developed iTrace, software that interfaces with an eye tracker and IDE to capture eye gaze on software artifacts and map them to their semantic meaning.
