Recent empirical studies show that software engineers use 5 tools and 14 artifacts on average for a single task. As development work is frequently interrupted and several simultaneous tasks are performed in parallel, engineers need to switch many times between these tools and artifacts. A lot of time gets wasted in repeatedly locating, reopening or selecting the right artifacts needed next. To address this problem we introduce Switch!, a context-aware artifact recommendation and switching tool. Switch! assists engineers in switching artifacts based on the type of the development task and the interaction history.
