  • Abstract
    Programmers often need to backtrack, but backtracking support in modern programming environments is limited. Previously, we have conducted a series of studies, which discovered that backtracking in programming is in fact prevalent and programmers need better backtracking tools. In this demonstration, we will present our backtracking tool called AZURITE, which provides selective undo and history search and visualization features in the Eclipse code editor. The demonstration will include the user interface presented in our previous work, as well as the new features added in response to user feedback.
