Abstract :
In this paper we present an Eclipse plug-in, called COCONUT (COde COmprehension Nurturant Using Traceability), that shows the similarity level between the source code under development and high-level artefacts the source code should be traced onto. Also, the plug-in suggests candidate source code identifiers according to the domain terms contained into the corresponding high-level artefacts. Experiments showed that the plug-in helps to produce source code easier to be understood
