B de Alwis, GC Murphy, MP Robillard (2007). A comparative study of three program exploration tools. In Proc. Int. Conf. Program Compr. (ICPC), 103--112. doi:10.1109/ICPC.2007.6. (pdf)

• Experiment instructions and procedures.
• jEdit source code as provided to the subjects.
• The model solutions for: autosave (optional bits), and settings-reloading (optional bits). These files are encoded in a simple XML format used by the relevant elements view. The `optional bits' are alternative types or methods that are equally as valid as those identified in the model solutions.
• Traces of developer interactions.
• The distance profiles for the developers, broken out (1) task by tool, and (2) by programmers by tool. An `x' marks where a solution element was first seen, an `o' where a solution element was first correctly identified, and a `+' when a different file was viewed.
• The experimental infrastructure for Eclipse, used to record the developer interactions with Eclipse and the tools.
• Quantitative data as CSV
