Determining where functionality is implemented or what existing code may be relevant for understanding and implementing a work item can be difficult using conventional search technologies. A developer may need to already be highly familiar with existing details such as code organization and naming conventions to be able to use regular expression and other wild-card style searches effectively. In large projects such searches may not be practical, and the developer instead relies on acquired insight. Context-Aware Search enables searching using natural language rather than exact patterns. This capability allows analysis of a work item for relevant keywords. Using these keywords it then locates source code that may be relevant for the work item.

Tips for viewing video:

  • YouTube videos are played in high-definition (HD) by default (if available). If you have difficulty streaming the HD video, click the HD button in the YouTube player bar to watch in normal quality. You can also click Play then immediately click Pause and let the video fully load before watching.
