    Conference Proceeding: COCONUT: COde COmprehension Nurturant Using Traceability

    ABSTRACT: In this paper we present an Eclipse plug-in, called COCONUT (COde COmprehension Nurturant Using Traceability), that shows the similarity level between the source code under development and high-level artefacts the source code should be traced onto. Also, the plug-in suggests candidate source code identifiers according to the domain terms contained into the corresponding high-level artefacts. Experiments showed that the plug-in helps to produce source code easier to be understood

    Conference Proceeding: Improving Comprehensibility of Source Code via Traceability Information: a Controlled Experiment
    A. De Lucia, R. Oliveto, F. Zurolo, M. Di Penta
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: The presence of traceability links between software artefacts is very important to achieve high comprehensibility and maintainability. This is confirmed by several researches and tools aiming at support traceability link maintenance and recovery. We propose to use traceability information combined with Information Retrieval techniques within an Eclipse plug-in to show the software engineer the similarity between source code components being developed and the high level artefacts they should be traced on. Such a similarity suggests actions aiming at improving the correct usage of identifiers and comments in source code and, as a consequence, the traceability and the comprehensibility level. The approach and tool have been assessed with a controlled experiment performed with master students.
