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,...

Open Source barriers to entry, revisited : a tools perspective

Creator:: Mendez, Christopher, Pedala, Hema Susmita, Steine-Hanson, Zoe, Hilderbrand, Claudia, Horvath, Amber, Hill, Charles, Simpson, Logan, Patil, Nupoor, Sarma, Anita, and Burnett, Margaret
Abstract:: Software (OSS) communities and that women disproportionately experience such barriers. However, this research has focused mainly on social/cultural factors, ignoring the environment itself — the tools and infrastructure. To shed some light onto how tools and infrastructure might somehow factor into OSS barriers to entry, we conducted a field study...

Inclusive Software Design and Its Methods for Beyond-WIMP User Interfaces

Creator:: Fallatah, Abrar
Abstract:: While digital inclusivity researchers and software practitioners have been trying to address exclusion biases in Windows, Icons, Menus, and Pointers (WIMP) user interfaces (UIs) for a long time, little has been done to investigate if and how inclusive software design and its methods that have been devised for WIMP UIs...

SocioEconomicMag Meets a Platform for SES-Diverse College Students: A Case Study

Creator:: Agarwal, Puja
Abstract:: Emerging research shows that individual differences in how people use technology sometimes cluster by socioeconomic status (SES) and that when technology is not socioeconomically inclusive, low-SES individuals may abandon it. To understand how to improve technology’s SES-inclusivity, we present a multi-phase case study on SocioEconomicMag (SESMag), an emerging inspection method...

Practices for Engineering Gender-Inclusivity into Software

Creator:: Hilderbrand, Claudia
Abstract:: Although the need for gender-inclusivity in software itself is gaining attention among both SE researchers and SE practitioners, and methods have been published to help, little has been reported on how to make such methods work in real-world settings. For example, how do busy software practitioners use such methods in...

GenderMag’s Socio-Technical Artifacts “Grow up” To Expand GenderMag’s Impact

Creator:: Bhuva, Brijesh H.
Abstract:: This project report presents an implementation of a GenderMag Recorder's Assistant from a semi-working state to a fully working Chrome web store application. In addition, this project report also discusses the persona customization option and limitations and how the persona tool eases the process of persona customization. For results, we...

How to Debug Inclusivity Bugs? An Empirical Investigation of Finding-to-Fixing with Information Architecture

Creator:: Guizani, Mariam, Steinmacher, Igor, Emard, Jillian, Fallatah, Abrar, Burnett, Margaret, and Sarma, Anita
Abstract:: Background: Although some previous research has found ways to find inclusivity bugs (biases in software that introduce inequities among cognitively diverse individuals), little attention has been paid to how to go about fixing such bugs. We hypothesized that Information Architecture (IA)--the way information is organized, structured and labeled--may provide the...

Newcomers’ Barriers. . . Is That All? An Analysis of Mentors’ and Newcomers’ Barriers in OSS Projects

Creator:: Balali, Sogol
Abstract:: Newcomers’ seamless onboarding is important for open collaboration communi- ties, particularly those that leverage outsiders’ contributions to remain sustainable. Nevertheless, previous work shows that OSS newcomers often face several barriers to contribute, which lead them to lose motivation and even give up on contributing. A well-known way to help newcomers...

How does AAR/AI Support Problem Solvers with Diverse Behaviors and Cognitive Styles?

Creator:: Dikkala, Rupika
Abstract:: "What’s wrong with this AI?" Explainable AI (XAI) researchers are moving beyond explaining an AI’s actions, to helping users detect an AI’s failures. However this detection may not be enough—for actionability, we often need to pinpoint which part failed. We investigate how AAR/AI, a structured assessment process, supports users with...

Designing Diversity and Inclusion Processes and Tools for Sustainable Open Source

Creator:: Guizani, Mariam
Abstract:: Over time, Open Source Software (OSS) has become indispensable in the creation and upkeep of software products, serving as the fundamental building block for widely used solutions in our daily lives, including applications that enable communication, entertainment, and productivity. A sustainable OSS ecosystem is one that attracts and retains a...
