Abstract

Developing software is one of the most cognitively challenging activities for humans. The majority of current tools in this domain are based on traditional user interface concepts and do not yet incorporate more modern interaction forms that may reduce mental load and increase joy of use. This works aims to examine how multimodal and natural interaction methods can be applied to common software engineering tasks such as code reviews and refactoring. A new support system for collaborative code reviews on interactive tabletops is currently being prototyped and will be evaluated in a user study. The review environment and workflow are outlined in this paper. Furthermore, it is briefly described how natural refactoring tools can be designed and integrated into future versions of the system.

Tangible interactions on horizontal surfaces are increasingly relevant for collaborative applications, embodied interaction, musical performance, and interaction with 3D information. This unique studio opportunity introduces approaches to developing ...
An approach for collaborative code reviews using multi-touch technology
CHASE '12: Proceedings of the 5th International Workshop on Co-operative and Human Aspects of Software Engineering

Code reviews are an effective mechanism to improve software quality, but often fall short in the development of software. To improve the desirability and ease of code reviews, we introduce an approach that explores how multi-touch interfaces can support ...
