ABSTRACT
Online Question and Answer websites for developers have emerged as the main forums for interaction during the software development process. The veracity of an answer in such websites is typically verified by the number of 'upvotes' that the answer garners from peer programmers using the same forum. Although this mechanism has proved to be extremely successful in rating the usefulness of the answers, it does not lend itself very elegantly to model the expertise of a user in a particular domain. In this paper, we propose a model to rank the expertise of the developers in a target domain by mining their activity in different opensource projects. To demonstrate the validity of the model, we built a recommendation system for StackOverflow which uses the data mined from GitHub.

How often and what StackOverflow posts do developers reference in their GitHub projects?
MSR '19: Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Mining Software RepositoriesStack Overflow (SO) is a popular Q&A forum for software developers, providing a large amount of copyable code snippets. While GitHub is an independent code collaboration platform, developers often reuse SO code in their GitHub projects. In this paper, ...
