  • Helping end users create and manage test cases in the WYSIWYT methodology

    Creator:
    Fisher, Marc Randall
    Abstract:
    Previous work has developed the What You See Is What You Test (WYSIWYT) methodology for testing spreadsheets. This methodology has been shown to help end users test, debug, and modify spreadsheets. To date, however, this system has provided no support for creating, reusing, and managing test cases, a process that...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Regression testing methodologies for spreadsheet languages

    Creator:
    Jin, Dalai
    Abstract:
    Spreadsheet languages are widely used by end users for many different purposes. Previous research shows that spreadsheets often contain faults. To help end users test their spreadsheets, in previous research, a testing methodology for spreadsheets has been developed. Th.is methodology is supported by an automatic test case generation (ATCG) methodology....

  • 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...

  • Predicting Robotic Grasps Using Surrogate Datasets

    Creator:
    Unrath, Matthew Paul Nishita
    Abstract:
    One of the tasks that continues to prove difficult in robotics is the ability to grasp objects of varying shapes. It is time-consuming to acquire large amounts of real-world data in order to train accurate classifiers that can predict the success or failure of a grasp. To solve this issue,...

  • 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:...

  • Reasons Behind the Low Enrollment of Women in Computer Science

    Creator:
    Schneider, Ashley R.
    Abstract:
    Over the past few decades, the ratio of women to men in many traditionally maledominated fields has become much more equal. However, in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields the ratio has not improved at the same rate. In computer science the ratio is still very uneven. Today women...
