Micro-Versioning Tool to Support Experimentation in Exploratory Programming
summary
A micro-versioning text editor that shows visual cues inline and on the scrollbar and generates candidate edits via a history model that combines regional and tree-structured undo is built and demoed; code executions act as delimiters so edits group into meaningful chunks; users click highlighted lines to revert to prior micro-versions without commits; a user study reports the tool meets the literature-derived requirements (103 requirements) and proves useful for exploratory programming.
