Asking and Answering Questions during a Programming Change Task - Jonathan Sillito, Gail C. Murphy, and Kris De Volder. 2008
Overarching Research Goals Discover and record Questions Analyze said questions and the process of answers Develop Model from findings A Grounded Theory Approach Inductively create models from findings Do not constrain results from existing cognitive models Not all questions were recorded Not task planning Not tool usage Questions were code focused
Experimental Lab Study Participant pair programming Difficult industry-worthy tasks Variety of Experience More questions/data Observational Industry Study Individual programming Fewer questions/data Regular work tasks
Results 44 Different Questions (When details excluded) Further Abstracted in terms of Graphs Finding a Focus Point Expanding Focus Points Understanding a Subgraph Questions over groups of subgraphs Examples On Next Slide
What class controls/contains this feature behavior? What class does this object extend? What interfaces does it implement? How is this package supposed to be used and what does it do? How does functionality in package A get used in package B?
