Using the Enhancing Software Development Process Repository for Better User Recommendations

Project Report from the year 2015 in the subject Computer Science - Programming, grade: Excellent, International Islamic University (Islamic University of Technology), course: M.Sc.(Engg.) in CSE, language: English, abstract: Reusing previously completed software repository to enhance the development process is a common phenomenon. If developers get suggestions from the existing projects they might be benefited a lot what they eventually expect while coding. The strategies available in this field have been rapidly changing day by day. There are a number of efforts that have been focusing on mining process and constructing repository. Some of them have emphasized on the web based code searching while others have integrated web based code searching in their customized tool. But web based approaches have inefficiency especially in building repository on which they apply mining technologies. To search the code snippets in response to the user query we need an enriched repository with a better representation and abstraction. To ensure that repository before mining process we have developed a concept based on Enhancing Software Development Process (ESDP). In ESDP approach multiple sources of codes from both online and offline storages are considered to construct the central repository with XML representation and applied mining techniques in the client side. The respective evaluation shows that ESDP approach works much better in response time and performance than many other existing approaches available today.
