Recommending More Efficient Workflows to Software Developers

Existing recommendation systems can help developers improve their software development abilities by recommending new programming tools, such as a refactoring tool or a program navigation tool. However, simply recommending tools in isolation may not, in and of itself, allow developers to successfully complete their tasks. In this paper, I introduce a new recommendation system that recommends workflows, or sequences of tools, to developers. By learning more efficient workflows, the system could make software developers more efficient.
