Abstract

Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.
 
Description We have found that a combination of careful logging of people's interaction with an application and collection of eye tracking data, allows us to develop workflows that reveal patterns of activity when interacting with very complex tools. These patterns of activities give us insights into the strengths and weaknesses of a particular tool. In particular, we saw a deficit in people's understanding of the consequences of their actions when adding statements to a complex logical artefact. We developed a technique by which those consequences could be revealed and showed that this had a distinct improvement with how people developed a particular type of complex artefact.
Exploitation Route We have gained insights into how people interact with complex artefacts. We intend to take this forward into broader research into how people interact with the development of complex logical artefacts and software.
