An Empirical Investigation to Understand the Difficulties and Challenges of Software Modellers When Using Modelling Tools
Pourali, Parsa; Atlee, Joanne M. (ACM, 2018-10)Software modelling is a challenging and error-prone task. Existing Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) tools provide modellers with little aid, partly because tool providers have not investigated users' difficulties through ... -
A Focus+Context Approach to Alleviate Cognitive Challenges of Editing and Debugging UML Models
Pourali, Parsa; Atlee, Joanne M. (IEEE, 2019-09)Model-Driven Engineering has been proposed to increase the productivity of developing a software system. Despite its benefits, it has not been fully adopted in the software industry. Research has shown that modelling tools ... -
UCAnDoModels: A Context-based Model Editor for Editing and Debugging UML Class and State-Machine Diagrams
Pourali, Parsa; Atlee, Joanne M. (ACM/IEEE, 2019-09)Practitioners face cognitive challenges when using model editors to edit and debug UML models, which make them reluctant to adopt modelling. To assist practitioners in their modelling tasks, we have developed effective ... -
A User-Centric Approach to Improve the Quality of UML-like Modelling Tools and Reduce the Efforts of Modelling
Pourali, Parsa (University of Waterloo, 2020-01-28)As software systems grow in size and complexity, their development and maintenance are becoming increasingly challenging. Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) has been proposed as a means to increase the developer's productivity ...
