ABSTRACT
Ginga-NCL and the NCL language were selected as a recommendation as the interactive multimedia environment and language for IPTV by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) [5]. In order to promote the use of these technologies, it is necessary to create tools to help develop applications using NCL. At present, the support provided by tools for NCL development is quite limited. In this paper, we propose NCL-Inspector, a critique system of the NCL code, which aims at leveraging the developer's skills in detecting error-prone NCL applications. We also present a taxonomy of NCL code problems, which has proven useful to help develop NCL-Inspector and may also improve the developers' knowledge of the domain.
