Bespoke Tools: Adapted to the Concepts Developers Know

2015 10TH JOINT MEETING OF THE EUROPEAN SOFTWARE ENGINEERING CONFERENCE AND THE ACM SIGSOFT SYMPOSIUM ON THE FOUNDATIONS OF SOFTWARE ENGINEERING (ESEC/FSE 2015) PROCEEDINGS, pp. 878–881.

By: B. Johnson n, R. Pandita n, E. Murphy-Hill n & S. Heckman n

author keywords: adaptive tools; IDE; concept models
TL;DR: This paper proposes the idea of automatically customizing development tools by modeling what a developer knows about software concepts and sketches three such ``bespoke'' tools and describes how development data can be used to infer what adeveloper knows about relevant concepts.
