Abstract

A method generally relates to code recommendation. In the method, code snippets (220 1, 220 2, ...220 n) may be extracted using an invocation-centered code slicing process and then grouped according to the method usages. For each method usage, a representative code snippet may be selected and stored in the knowledge base (210) in association with metadata (230 1, 230 2, ...230 n). The programming context may be obtained and used to query the knowledge base (210) to retrieve one or more code snippets for recommendation. The recommended code snippets may be ranked to improve the utility and user friendliness, and the metadata (230 1, 230 2,...230 n) may be used to provide variation points and possibly other auxiliary information to improve the operation efficiency and user experience.

Description

Background technique [0001] Code reuse can improve the efficiency of software development. For example, many application programming interface (API) methods can be called and used in various programming contexts to accomplish corresponding tasks. As is known, third-party API libraries may contain hundreds or even thousands of API methods or functions. In addition, in software development projects, software engineers usually design and implement a large number of methods as internal APIs for later calling. As a result, the number of project-specific API methods can also be enormous. [0002] In practice, unfortunately, knowledge about API methods and their uses is often not well documented. When using API methods, there is a barrier caused by insufficient or lacking resources for learning those API methods. A software engineer knows that there are creation API methods that may help in accomplishing his / her task. However, he / she often cannot remember the exact API method or...
