Abstract :
The proliferation of end-user programmers´ code in open source repositories provides opportunities for others to reuse code to solve programming problems, learn new programming techniques and to get inspiration. Unfortunately, code reuse by end-user programmers is low. In this paper, I propose a novel search mechanism called “Behavior-based code search” (BBCS) that assists end-user programmers discover reusable artifacts, so that they could find, reuse, and benefit from existing end-user code.
