Improving user performance on Boolean queries
John F. Pane,Brad A. Myers +1 more
- 01 Apr 2000
TL;DR: It is concluded that systems can benefit by adopting a tabular notation for query formulation, and that untrained users perform better when they express their queries in the tabular language, and about equally well when interpreting queries written in either language.
Analyzing the input stream for character- level errors in unconstrained text entry evaluations
Jacob O. Wobbrock,Brad A. Myers +1 more
TL;DR: The current work presents an algorithm for the automated analysis of character- level errors in input streams for unconstrained text entry evaluations and presents new character-level metrics that can aid method designers in refining text entry methods.
A framework and methodology for studying the causes of software errors in programming systems
Andrew J. Ko,Brad A. Myers +1 more
TL;DR: A framework and methodology is proposed that focuses specifically on errors by supporting the description and identification of the causes of software errors in terms of chains of cognitive breakdowns, and its implications for programming system design, software engineering, and the psychology of programming.
