The large amount of information available on the Web has changed the way people develop software. Using a series of empirical studies including online questionnaires, focus groups, laboratory experiments, and field studies in the US and Perú we gained a better understanding of how software developers solve problems by searching for source code on the Web. We found that 83% of developers performed at least one Web search during a work day and on average they did 3.6 searches per day. We also found that 82% of Web searches are done to solve opportunistic problems, such as when developers need to remember syntax details, to clarify implementation details or fix bugs, and to learn new concepts. We also found that developers are able to successfully solve 63% of their opportunistic software problems in 4.9 minutes on average by using the information they found on the Web to build their knowledge or to guide their coding. Results from these empirical studies have implications for tool designers, researchers, and developers.
