Invitation to participate in study on Augmenting Source Code Editors with External Information

Do your projects use any external tools (especially cloud-based) like CI, coverage, or performance benchmarking? Do you find yourself having to visit different websites to find out information about the files you're looking at in your IDE? EICE is a tool that is investigating how to best represent information from these services and tools more directly into your source code editor.

Under the supervision of Professor Reid Holmes, I, Xinhong Liu, am conducting a study to gain insight into augmenting source code with external information. I would be delighted to invite you to participate in this study.

This will be an in situ study consisting of two parts:

Online survey (around 10-min), which can be found below. Follow-up study (around 10-min, totally optional ) in-person or via skype, you can sign up in the survey.

All follow-up participants will be entered in a draw for one of two CAD 50 Amazon or Starbucks gift cards after the follow-up study.

Take me to the survey

It only takes 10 minutes to finish.



To be eligible, you must have programming experience for at least a year.

If you have any questions, please email me at xinhliu@cs.ubc.ca.

THANK YOU so much for your time!
