Abstract:: A human-centric issue that has not been considered in the design of end-user programming environments is whether gender differences exist that are important to the design of these environments. Ignoring this issue would miss the opportunity of enhancing the effectiveness of end-user programmers by incorporating appropriate mechanisms to support gender-associated...

Creator:: Oregon State University. Dept. of Computer Science, Burnett, Margaret, 1949-, Myers, Brad A., Rosson, Mary Beth, Wiedenbeck, Susan, and Leibel, Adam
Abstract:: End users create software when they use spreadsheet systems, web authoring tools and graphical languages, and when they create educational simulations, macros-by-demonstration, and dynamic e-business web applications and mash-ups. Some end-user developers, such as accountants or teachers, may have no formal training at all in programming. Others, such as scientists...

Creator:: Oregon State University. Dept. of Computer Science, Beckwith, Laura A., Inman, Derek, Rector, Kyle, and Burnett, Margaret, 1949-
Abstract:: Although there have been a number of studies of end-user software development tasks, few of them have considered gender issues for real end-user developers in real-world environments for end-user programming. In order to be trusted, the results of such laboratory studies must always be re-evaluated with fewer controls, more closely...

Abstract:: "Code coverage visualizations using block coverage neither guided developers toward productive testing strategies, nor did these visualizations motivate developers to write more tests or help them find more faults than the control group. Nevertheless, code coverage visualizations did influence developers in a few important ways. Code coverage visualizations led developers...

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....

Creator:: Atwood, John Wesley, Jr., Burnett, Margaret, 1949-, Walpole, Rebecca A., Wilcox, E. M., Yang, Sherry, and Oregon State University. Dept. of Computer Science
Abstract:: Despite years of research into human computer interaction (HCI), the environments programmers must use for problem-solving today—with separate modes and tools for writing, compiling, testing, visualizing, and debugging— derive their basic structure from historical accident, and take little advantage of HCI research into the cognitive issues of programming. Neglecting these...

Creator:: Oregon State University. Dept. of Computer Science, Beckwith, Laura A., Grigoreanu, Valentina I., Subrahmaniyan, Neeraja, Wiedenbeck, Susan, Burnett, Margaret, 1947-, Cook, Curtis R., Bucht, Karin, and Drummond, Russell
Abstract:: Little is known about the strategies end-user programmers use in debugging their programs, and even less is known about gender differences that may exist in these strategies. Without this type of information, end-user programming systems cannot know the "target" at which to aim, if they are to support male and...

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...

Abstract:: Although gender differences in a technological world are receiving significant research attention, much of the research and practice has aimed at how society and education can impact the successes and retention of female computer science professionals—but the possibility of gender issues within software has received almost no attention. If gender...
