Guiding Software Developers using Automated Adaptation of Object Ensembles Plug-in
Software developing process has been improving day by day. The development process can be affected through different ways like changing the development environment, strategies and upcoming technologies. In order to save valuable times and to speed up the process, we can guide programmer during the development time through providing relevant recommendations. There are some strategies that suggest related code snippets and API-items to the software programmers. There are some techniques that apply general code searching approaches and some techniques that employ online based repository mining process. But it is kind of difficult tasks to guide programmers when they need specific type conversion like adapting existing interfaces from the previously used types as per their demands. One of the familiar approaches to guide developers in such a situation is to adapt collections and arrays through automated adaptation of object ensembles. But how does it help a novice developer in real time software development that is not explicitly exemplified. In this paper, we have tried to introduce a system that works as a plug-in tool incorporated with a data mining integrated environment to recommend the relevant interfaces while they look for a type conversion. We have a mined repository of respective adapter classes and related APIs from where programmers search their query and get their result using the relevant transformer classes. The system that recommends developers entitled automated objective ensembles (AOE plug-in). From the investigation that we have done, we can see that our approach works much better than some of the existing approaches.
