It is important to detect problems fast and to have a clear overview of what is happening within a system after deployment to maximize the uptime and functional quality of the system. Therefore it is necessary to increase the awareness that developers have of errors and logs. Increasing the awareness that developers have of errors and logs has a positive impact on finding problems and solving them. This thesis aims to use monitoring information to bridge the gap that exists between development and operations. We propose to do this by linking the logs to source code to provide this missing link between development and operations. We provide a theory for a monitoring-aware IDE which aims to tackle some of the challenges and enhance some of the practices that exist in the field. We implemented a monitoring-aware IDE and performed a field study to measure its effect. Our results show that a monitoring-aware IDE assists the developer in understanding the system, fixing problems in the code, and improving the monitoring code.
