In response, developers often turn to Stack Overflow, offering a window into the programming barriers developers face. We examined 301 posts on Stack Overflow related to front-end web development and systematically characterized the challenges present in these posts. We found that most challenges reflected not a request for new code or an explanation of an error message but a request about how a specific code snippet might be edited to make its behavior as desired. Many challenges also reflected an underlying need to gather information about how specific code idioms are implemented within a framework or library. We identified 28 barriers developers face in front-end web development. Our findings suggest opportunities for facilitating more effective interactions with complex APIs through new types of programming content and tools that better address barriers in working with code idioms. An idiomatic diagnostic system identifies a relevant graphical barrier and asks the developer for the desired behavior based on the visual selection (1). It then shows how to overcome the barrier, GB2. A step-by-step explanation of relevant APIs summarizes the current behavior: the style property (2) is not mutating in-between graphical setters (3, 4), as logged by the system (2, 5). A code change is suggested to achieve the desired behavior.","PeriodicalId":351709,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages and Human-Centric Computing (VL/HCC)","volume":"2013 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127438260","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Research has shown that Assertion Roulette is the most pervasive smell in industrial and open-source systems. However, some recent studies argue that the impact of Assertion Roulette is not as severe as previously believed, and developers usually consider it acceptable.Thecontroversy over the impact of Assertion Roulette also exists in the area of testing education. To assess the impact of As- sertion Roulette , we conducted a controlled empirical study with 42 CS students. We recruited participants from two populations, CS1 and a graduate testing course, to see what role experience may have in terms of this test smell’s impact. Participants were tasked with implementing a project in Java that passes provided JUnit tests. Through analysis of student-authored source code, we measured the impact of Assertion Roulette using code quality measures and testing behavior measures. Our findings show that the impact of Assertion Roulette on students in this study was minimal. Though students with exposure to the test smell began testing significantly later, they performed similarly in terms of programming quality measures. Thus, it would seem the Assertion Roulette smell is no longer a smell at all, even for less experienced populations like students.","PeriodicalId":351709,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages and Human-Centric Computing (VL/HCC)","volume":"113 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128668799","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
