Abstract

Many recommendation systems have been built to aid software developers. Few have been evaluated using human-based evaluation strategies. In studying situations where recommendation systems have been used or might be used, we have observed that issues related to trust are important to a developer's acceptance of recommendations. In this position paper, we outline the trust issues that we have identified and suggest some mechanisms for promoting trust in recommendation systems aimed at software developers.
