Mining API usage scenarios from stack overflow
We propose a framework to mine API usage scenarios from Stack Overflow. Each
task consists of a code example, the task description, and the reactions of
developers towards the code example. First, we present an algorithm to
automatically link a code example in a forum post to an API mentioned in the
textual contents of the forum post. Second, we generate a natural language
description of the task by summarizing the discussions around the code example.
Third, we automatically associate developers reactions (i.e., positive and
negative opinions) towards the code example to offer information about code
quality. We evaluate the algorithms using three benchmarks
