NLPA (Natural Language Program Analysis)

Notes:

Natural Language Program Analysis combines natural language processing techniques with program analysis to extract information for analysis of the source program. NLPA is used to improve many different areas in software engineering such as code recommendations or program analysis. NLPA works by combining knowledge of the structure of the English language with knowledge about the structure of source code, in order to meaningfully extract information from the code to aid in the process of software maintenance.
