Reasoning about many-to-many requirement relationships in spreadsheet grids

Creator:

Beckwith, Laura A.

Abstract:

Traditionally, research into end-user programming has focused on how to make programming more accessible to end users. However, few researchers have considered providing end users with devices to help improve the reliability of the programs they create. To help improve the reliability of spreadsheets created by end users, we are...

Masters Thesis
Explaining debugging strategies to end-user programmers

Creator:

Oregon State University. Dept. of Computer Science, Subrahmaniyan, Neeraja, Kissinger, Cory, Rector, Kyle, Inman, Derek, Kaplan, Jared, Beckwith, Laura A., and Burnett, Margaret, 1949-

Abstract:

There has been little research into how end-user programming environments can provide explanations that could fill a critical information gap for end-user debuggers - help with debugging strategy. To address this need, we designed and prototyped a video-based approach for explaining debugging strategy, and accompanied it with a text-only approach....

Supporting end-user debugging : what do users want to know?

Creator:

Oregon State University. Dept. of Computer Science, Kissinger, Cory, Burnett, Margaret, 1949-, Stumpf, Simone, Subrahmaniyan, Neeraja, Beckwith, Laura A., Yang, Sherry, and Rosson, Mary Beth

Abstract:

Although researchers have begun to explicitly support end-user programmers' debugging by providing information to help them find bugs, there is little research addressing the right content to communicate to these users. The specific semantic content of these debugging communications matters because, if the users are not actually seeking the information...
