Outline of Final Research Achievements

We developed and evaluated an approach for supporting naming a method and a class. The approach generates candidate of method names from content of the method and the class respectively. Furthermore, we developed a novel code completion approach, which can be used when a method body is empty, leveraging a name of the method and its context. Both approaches leverage the knowledge learned from huge size of code corpus for generating candidates.
