A Study of Visual Studio Usage in Practice - SANER '16

  1. A Study of Visual Studio Usage in Practice Sven Amann, Sebastian Proksch, Sarah Nadi, and Mira Mezini Technische Universität Darmstadt Germany
  2. RQ1 How does the average developer spend his in-IDE time? 2 RQ2 How does IDE usage differ between IDEs?

  13. Outside IDE (39.8%) Long Inactivity (20.2%) 13 Active IDE Interaction (25%) Short Inactivity (15%) Developers have many very short inactivities and a few long, break-like inactivities. Developers spend much time outside the IDE, potentially using external tools.
  14. Active IDE Interaction (25%) Short Inactivity (15%) Active IDE Interaction (62.4%) Short Inactivity (37.6%) 14 Kersten et al. ~2h Minelli et al. 66%
  15. Active IDE Interaction (25%) Short Inactivity (15%) Short Inactivity (37.6%) 15 22.4% The amount of navigation is a likely indicator for the need for code understanding
  16. 16 We observe interesting, unexpected developer behavior. Some usage aspects differ significantly across IDEs. Consider and look into the causes of our findings when building next-generation IDEs!
