Automatic comment generation using only source code

Year: 2017

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: In this study, automatic comment generation for Java methods is described. It is sufficient that the codes conform to the syntax rules of the Java programming language, and it is not expected to be runnable. In order to generate comments, source code is examined syntactically. At this stage, only the method signature and its return type is needed. By working on open source Java projects, different templates have been developed for different method types. Using the compiled information which is the result of the examining source code that is currently being developed, the most suitable template is chosen and texts are created. These texts explain the aim of the method. Created texts are added to source code as a comment.
