Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) In recent years, everyone has been able to contribute to interested programs by the birth of social coding tools such as GitHub. However, there are great costs that new comers find required information from programs. Also, the information seeking has been recognized as an important sub-task in the program comprehension, and this sub-task occupies 60% of the time cost. As a factor that occupies for so much of the time cost, there are two difficulties: complexity and invisibility. We propose a method to solve these problems and developed a prototype tool to realize it. We also conducted a case study to verify whether this tool supports Information seeking.
