  • Strategies and behaviors of end-user programmers with interactive fault localization

    Creator:
    Prabhakararao, Shreenivasarao
    Abstract:
    End-user programmers are writing an unprecedented number of programs, due in large part to the significant effort put forth to bring programming power to end users. Unfortunately, this effort has not been supplemented by a comparable effort to increase the correctness of these often faulty programs. To address this need,...

  • Interactive fault localization techniques to empower the debugging efforts of end-user programmers

    Creator:
    Ruthruff, Joseph Ronald
    Abstract:
    End users develop more software than any other group of programmers, using software authoring devices such as e-mail filtering editors, by-demonstration macro builders, and spreadsheet environments. Despite this, there has been only a little research on finding ways to help these programmers with the dependability of the software they create....

  • Gender HCI issues in end-user programming

    Creator:
    Beckwith, Laura A.
    Abstract:
    Until recently, research has not considered whether the design of end-user programming environments, such as spreadsheets, multimedia authoring languages, and CAD systems, affects males and females differently. As a result, we began investigating how the two genders are impacted by end-user programming software and whether attention to gender differences is...

  • End user software engineering features for both genders

    Creator:
    Sorte, Shraddha
    Abstract:
    Previous research has revealed gender differences that impact females’ willingness to adopt software features in end users’ programming environments. Since these features have separately been shown to help end users problem solve, it is important to female end users’ productivity that we find ways to make these features more acceptable...

  • Gender differences in end-user debugging strategies

    Creator:
    Narayanan, Vaishnavi
    Abstract:
    There has been little prior research reporting strategy usage in end-user problem solving, and even less using gender as a factor. Without this type of information, enduser programming systems cannot know the “target” at which to aim, if they are to support male and female end-user programmers’ debugging. As a...

  • Garbage in, garbage out? An empirical look at oracle mistakes by end-user programmers

    Creator:
    Phalgune, Amit
    Abstract:
    End-user programmers, because they are human, make mistakes. However, past research has not considered how visual end-user debugging devices could be designed to ameliorate the effects of mistakes. This paper empirically examines oracle mistakes mistakes users make about which values are right and which are wrong to reveal differences in...

  • Behaviors and strategies in end-users' collaborative programming

    Creator:
    Liu, Zheng
    Abstract:
    Traditionally, research into end-user programming has focused on how to make programming more accessible to end users conducting the programming activities all by themselves. However, few researchers have considered introducing the concept of collaborative programming into the area of end-user programming, and how the programming environments and devices should be...

  • Complex patterns in gender HCI : a data mining study of factors leading to end-user debugging success for females and males

    Creator:
    Grigoreanu, Valentina I.
    Abstract:
    Most of the work so far in the subfield of Gender HCI has followed a theory-driven approach. Established theories, however, do not take into account specific issues that arise in end-user debugging. We suspected that there may be important information that we were overlooking. We therefore employed a methodology change:...

  • The InclusiveMag Method: A Start Towards More Inclusive Software for Diverse Populations

    Creator:
    Mendez, Christopher
    Abstract:
    How can software practitioners assess whether their software supports diverse users? Although there are empirical processes that can be used to find “inclusivity bugs” piecemeal, what is often needed is a systematic inspection method to assess software’s support for diverse populations. To help fill this gap, this thesis introduces InclusiveMag,...

    Abstract:
    We present a catalog of mutation operators for spreadsheets drawn from research into mutation testing for general purpose programming languages and from spreadsheet errors that have been reported in literature. These operators are integrated into a system, called μTest, which allows users to create and maintain spreadsheet test cases. Three...
