Reusing previously completed software repository to enhance the development process is a common phenomenon. If developers get suggestions from the existing projects they might be benefited a lot what they eventually expect while coding. The strategies available in this field have been rapidly changing day by day. There are a number of efforts that have been focusing on mining process and constructing repository.
Some of them have emphasized on the web based code searching while others have integrated web based code searching in their customized tool. But web based approaches have inefficiency especially in building repository on which they apply mining technologies. To search the code snippets in response to the user query we need an enriched repository with a better representation and abstraction. To ensure that repository before mining process we have developed a concept based on Enhancing Software Development Process (ESDP).
In ESDP approach multiple sources of codes from both online and offline storages are considered to construct the central repository with XML representation and applied mining techniques in the client side. The respective evaluation shows that ESDP approach works much better in response time and performance than many other existing approaches available today.

Zielsetzung und Themenschwerpunkte (Objectives and Key Themes)
This paper presents a novel approach called Enhancing Software Development Process (ESDP) to improve code recommendation systems. ESDP aims to provide developers with relevant code snippets and patterns by leveraging a rich and up-to-date repository of software artifacts.
- Building a comprehensive and enriched repository by incorporating multiple sources of code, including open-source projects, standard libraries, external APIs, and regular search results.
- Developing an efficient data mining strategy to extract knowledge and patterns from the repository, using XML representation and a sequential pattern mining algorithm.
- Providing a client-side repository to eliminate server dependency, ensuring faster response times and enhanced efficiency.
- Evaluating the performance and effectiveness of ESDP through empirical studies, comparing its response times and error rates with existing approaches.
- Addressing potential threats to the experimental evaluation, including the impact of data mining techniques, human bias, and task variations.
