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, we have been working towards bringing fault localization techniques to end users. In order to understand how end users are affected by and interact with such techniques, we conducted a think-aloud study, examining the interactive, humancentric ties between end-user debugging and a fault localization technique for the spreadsheet paradigm. Our results provide insights into the contributions such techniques can make to an interactive end-user debugging process. Keywords: Interactive end-user debugging, End-user programmers, Interactive fault localization
