Detecting API usage obstacles: A study of iOS and Android developer questions
2013
2013 10th Working Conference on Mining Software Repositories (MSR)
Preserved Fulltext
When developers invoke API methods in a framework, they often encounter obstacles in finding the correct usage of the API, let alone to employ best practices. ...
For each API with usage obstacles, we further apply a topic mining tool to posts that are tagged with the API, and we discover several repetitive scenarios in which API usage obstacles occur. ...
Lines of research regarding API usage includes field studies of API learning obstacles [1] , [2] , mining temporal correlations among API invocations [3] , [4] and harnessing web content to aid API ...
