Re: [recommenders-dev] Google Summer of Code 2013

Hello Andreas,

thank you for the answer.

<< - Can we find out how often/long a programmer reads the JavaDoc tooltips
that pop up for a method in code completion?

- If Code Recommenders intelligent ranking moves a method from position
42 to position 1 *and* the programmer selects it, how much time does
this safe the programmer? (It's not just hitting "Arrow Down" 41
times...we also safe time skimming JavaDocs, for example)

- Can we measure how much time is spend navigating through menus rather
than using a keyboard shortcut?>>

Okay that means: For the measure I need some special algorithms,
which can calculate how much time was spent.
That sounds very interesting for me.

How should the results be displayed? In a view, dialog etc.?

Regards,
Timur

we are ourselves still at the brainstorming stage. But here are a few
questions you might want to ponder:

- Can we find out how often/long a programmer reads the JavaDoc tooltips
that pop up for a method in code completion?

- If Code Recommenders intelligent ranking moves a method from position
42 to position 1 *and* the programmer selects it, how much time does
this safe the programmer? (It's not just hitting "Arrow Down" 41
times...we also safe time skimming JavaDocs, for example)

- Can we measure how much time is spend navigating through menus rather
than using a keyboard shortcut?

Best wishes,

Andreas
