An information processing system, computer readable storage medium, and method with an integrated development environment to guide development of applications to implement a programming design objective. A method includes analyzing a selected portion of source code according to meeting each programming design objective from a set of programming design objectives; selecting, based on the analyzing, at least one programming design objective from the programming design objectives, the selected at least one programming design objective being determined suitable for the selected portion of source code based on one of conforming with constraints of the objective, or failing to conform and determining a quick fix can be applied by update to the source code to make it conform. The method outputs a message corresponding to the selected portion of source code and indicative of the selected programming design objective suitable for the portion of source code.

System and method for using development objectives to guide implementation of source code

Contextualized selection of components in one aspect may include generating a developer profile associated with a team member, for example, for all team members designated to work on a computer-implemented development project, and generating a component profile associated with a software component, for example, for all software components identified based on received requirement specification associated with the project. Applicability of a software component to the team members may be computed based on developer profiles and a component profile associated with the software component. Based on the applicability, components are selected and may be downloaded to build a team project component repository.

Contextualized software component selection and repository generation

Focus requests to display applications are received, each focus request associated with at least one application from the applications. Application context from metadata tags describing content of the application is received. User context associated with information about a status of a user interacting with the computer system is received. Display priority of the applications based on the application context and the user context is determined. A list of the applications based on the display priority is created. The applications are displayed in windows in the graphical user interface environment based on the list.

Techniques are provided for performing automated operations to determine maturity of a specified project. Information is received regarding each of a plurality of artifacts associated with the project, such as project documentation, source code repositories, and a tracked issue database for the project. A data sufficiency level associated with each provided artifact is determined, and each artifact is provided to one or more of multiple analysis engines. The analysis engines are executed to produce one or more weighted feature vectors for each of the artifacts associated with the specified project, and input to a prediction engine in order to provide a maturity rating for the project based on the weighted feature vectors.

Evaluating project maturity from data sources

Various embodiments synchronize comments in a source code file with text of a source code document. In one embodiment, a source code file is analyzed. A set of source code comment text within the source code file is identified. A set of text is extracted from the set of source code comment text that has been identified. A set of metadata is generated for at least the set of text. A plurality of markup tags is applied to the set of text. The plurality of markup tags at least one of format and stylize the set of text when presented to the user. A source code document is generated that includes one or more of the set of text, the set of metadata, and the plurality of markup tags.

Synchronizing comments in source code with text documents

Various embodiments synchronize comments in a source code file with text of a source code document. In one embodiment, a source code document is compared to a corresponding source code file. The source code document comprises a set of text corresponding to a set of source code comment text in the corresponding source code file. The source code document is configured to display the set of text in a stylized format when presented to a user. The set of text in the source code document is determined to be different than the set of source code comment text in the source code file based on the comparison. At least the set of source code comment text in the source code file is automatically changed based on the set of text from the source code document and in response to the determination.

Automated creation of augmented documentation fragments that are augmented with usage examples. A plurality of documentation fragments is stored, where each documentation fragment documents a software element and has at least one associated property. A corresponding source code software fragment that corresponds to at least one associated property of at least one software element is identified based on an automated software analysis process of source code within a source code repository and further based on a list of properties comprising each associated property of each software element within the plurality of software elements. An augmented documentation fragment that includes a selected documentation fragment and the at least one corresponding source code software fragment corresponding to at least one associated property of the selected documentation fragment is created in response to the identifying.

Software documentation generation with automated sample inclusion

An information processing system, computer readable storage medium, and methods with an integrated development environment (IDE) to guide development of applications to implement a programming design objective. A method includes receiving, with a source code editor of the IDE, source code and a tag added to the source code, the tag indicating a programming design objective for the source code. The method includes invoking a source code analyzer that analyzes at least a portion of the source code and outputs a message in response to determining, based at least on the tag and the analyzing, that the at least a portion of the source code fails to conform to one or more constraints of the programming design objective indicated by the tag. One or more hints and proposals to fix the source code are displayed.

An information processing system, computer readable storage medium, and method for documenting the execution of long running applications. A processor of the information processing system operates to continuously collect snapshots monitored from an executing application on a runtime system. The processor selects, based at least on user specified policies, collected snapshots that indicate a significant change in runtime behavior of the executing application on the runtime system. The processor annotates each of the selected snapshots with description of the significant change in runtime behavior of the executing application. The processor operates to store and update documentation of an execution history of the executing application from the annotated snapshots.

An embodiment of the invention provides a method of displaying a data flow, wherein a description of a data flow application to be displayed is received. The data flow application includes nodes and edges connecting the nodes, wherein the nodes represent operators and the edges represent data connections for data flowing between the operations. A reason that a user is to view the data flow and/or a user constraint on a complexity of the data flow application to be displayed is determined with a processor; and, the time required to render a display of the data flow application is estimated. A transformed representation of the data flow application is created with the processor. The transformed representation is created based upon the user reason, the user constraint, the estimated time of rendering, and/or a layout strategy. The transformed representation is displayed on a graphical user interface.
