Proposal Ideas

The following is a list of ideas we had at our initial brainstorming phase.

• Implement JsNice as open source

  • http://www.srl.inf.ethz.ch/jsnice.php

  • Suggest variable names, find spelling mistakes

• Compile Scala code even if it is not strictly correct by correcting specific mistakes

  • ScalaDyno

  • Fix variable names

• Code completion from statistical data

• Code search (fuzzy and tokenized)

  • Merge results into single code block

  • https://sourcegraph.com/ ? > search only for method name

  • Translate code from one language to another

• Detection of common software design pattern and evolution of patterns

• Mining bug fixes to predict bugs

  • Manual bug analysis Osma14aMiningBugFixChanges.pdf (could be automate that?)

• Paper with different potential areas: The Road Ahead for Mining Software Repositories
