Developer Behavior Simulator

Overview

This work was done in the context of Dr. Hans Vangheluwe's class on Modeling and Simulation, (COMP 522, Fall 2004). Its intent is to explore the behavior of a software developer who is performing a code navigation task and to simulate that behavior. This project was inspired by he work of Dr. Martin Robillard on the effectiveness of software developers when investigating code. The current state of the simulator is a prototype that outputs investigation transcripts given input on the source code's structure and on the desired level of expertise of the developer to model. Applications for this type of work are numerous: software engineering, tool development, human-computer interface, etc.
