A strategy-centric approach to the design of end-user debugging tools

Creator:

Grigoreanu, Valentina I., Burnett, Margaret, and Robertson, George

Abstract:

End-user programmers’ code is notoriously buggy. This problem is amplified by the increasing complexity of end users’ programs. To help end users catch errors early and reliably, we employ a novel approach for the design of end-user debugging tools: a focus on supporting end users’ effective debugging strategies.

Design implications for end-user debugging tools : a strategy-based view

Creator:

Grigoreanu, Valentina I., Burnett, Margaret, and Robertson, George

Abstract:

End-user programmers’ code (e.g., accountants’ spreadsheet formulas) is fraught with errors. To help mitigate this problem, end-user software engineering research is becoming established. However, most of this work has focused on feature usage, rather than debugging strategies. If a debugging tool were to support end-user programmers’ specific debugging strategy needs,...
