摘要

在编程阶段之外,对终端用户程序开发的研究很少。设计解决额外阶段的方法可能是至关重要的,因为研究表明,至少在广泛使用的电子表格范例中,最终用户编写的一半以上的程序包含错误。在本文中,我们研究了以断言的形式为最终用户提供需求规范的集成支持是否可以帮助他们推断、识别和删除电子表格中的错误。我们的有声思考研究表明,终端用户在使用电子表格时确实可以使用断言来查找和纠正错误,同时也揭示了一些关于测试的令人惊讶的倾向和偏见。

Assertions in end-user software engineering: a think-aloud study
There has been little research on end-user program development beyond the programming phase. Devising ways to address additional phases may be critical, because research shows that over one-half of the programs written by end users, at least in the widely used spreadsheet paradigm, contain errors. In this paper, we investigate whether providing end users with integrated support for requirement specifications in the form of assertions can help them reason about, recognize, and remove errors in their spreadsheets. Our think-aloud study revealed that end users can indeed use assertions to find and correct errors as they work with their spreadsheets, and also revealed some surprising tendencies and biases about testing.
