Application Programming Interface (API) documents are a typical way of describing legal
usage of reusable software libraries, thus facilitating software reuse. However, even with …

Typically, software libraries provide API documentation, through which developers can learn
how to use libraries correctly. However, developers may still write code inconsistent with API …

Many software development tasks require developers to quickly learn a subset of an
Application Programming Interface (API). API learning resources are crucial for helping …

This paper presents a technique for automatically mining and visualizing API usage
examples. In contrast to previous approaches, our technique is capable of finding examples …

Large frameworks and libraries require extensive developer learning resources, such as
documentation and mailing lists, to be useful. Maintaining these learning resources is …

Program analysis is a highly active area of research, and the capacity and precision of
software analyzers is improving rapidly. We investigate the use of modern software …

Formal specifications are used to identify programming errors, verify the correctness of
programs, and as documentation. Unfortunately, producing them is error-prone and time …

When discussing programming issues on social platforms (eg, Stack Overflow, Twitter),
developers often mention APIs in natural language texts. Extracting API mentions in natural …

Software projects often rely on third-party libraries made accessible through Application
Programming Interfaces (APIs). We have observed many cases where APIs are used in …

Programmers extensively use application programming interfaces (APIs) to leverage
existing libraries and frameworks. However, correctly and efficiently choosing and using …
