Improving how a codebase is developed by analyzing the variables in the codebase's source code. Learned characteristics of a codebase are derived by obtaining context for some of the source code's variables. This context represents semantics and/or patterns associated with those variables. Once the learned characteristics are derived, they are then modified, or rather tuned, by incorporating context from second source code. Particular context for a particular variable used within the second source code is then obtained. This particular context represents semantics and/or patterns associated with the particular variable. This particular context is then analyzed using the learned characteristics to generate zero, one or more anticipated variables. Later, a notification regarding these anticipated variables is displayed. In some situations, conducting the analysis is a part of a variable renaming analysis while in other situation the analysis is a part of a variable misuse analysis.
