Abstract
Emerging research has sought to bring effective debugging devices to end-user programmers. This research has largely focused on how well such devices bring genuine “functional ” rewards to end users. However, emerging models of programming behavior indicate that another, often ignored, type of reward—perceivable rewards—can play an equally vital role in how well debugging devices serve end users. Using an empirically evaluated fault localization device, this paper investigates the impact such perceivable rewards can have on end-user debugging. Our results indicate that perceivable rewards alone can significantly improve the effectiveness and understanding of end users performing debugging tasks. 1.
