   ABSTRACT     = {When developers perform a maintenance task, they always 
      explore the program, \ie{} move from one program entity to another. 
      However, even though maintenance is a crucial task, the exploration 
      strategies (ES) used by developers to navigate through the program 
      entities remain unstudied. This lack of study prevents us from 
      understanding how developers explore a program and perform a change 
      task, from recommending strategies to developers, and (ultimately) 
      from critically evaluating a developer's exploration performance. As 
      a first step towards understanding ES, we mined interaction histories 
      (IH) gathered using the Eclipse Mylyn plugin from developers 
      performing a change task on four open-source projects (ECF, Mylyn, 
      PDE, and Eclipse Platform). An ES is defined and characterized by the 
      way (how) the developers navigate through the program entities. Using 
      the Gini inequality index on the number of revisits of program 
      entities, we observe that ES can be either centralized (CES) or 
      extended (EES). We automatically classified interaction histories as 
      CES or EES and performed an empirical study to ascertain the effect 
      of the ES on the task duration and effort. We found that, although an 
      EES requires more exploration effort than a CES, an EES is less time 
      consuming than a CES. Extensive work (number of days spent performing 
      a task) typically imply a CES. Our results show that developers who 
      follow an EES have a methodical investigation of source code while 
      developers who follow a CES have an opportunistic exploration of 
      source code.}
