Dear Community, as part of a research project in the EVREF team, we are looking for people to participate to an empirical experiment on object-centric breakpoints - a debugging tool present in Pharo 9. Many people from the community already participated, and we thank them very much :) We are still looking for participants, we need 40 people to do the experiment! Please help us, in return it helps us understand better our tools and their impact and therefore build better tools for the Pharo community! For those who want to know a bit more, see my original email below. For those who just want to jump at the experiment, you can go there https://github.com/Pharo-XP-Tools/XPImageGeneration/tree/exp-ocd Thanks in advance :) Steven. --- We would like to invite you to participate to our experimental study on Object-Centric Breakpoints. This study aims to evaluate and to understand how Object-Centric Breakpoints impacts the debugging activity. This experiment takes place in **Pharo 9**. In this experiment, we ask you to solve 2 debugging tasks, one with standard Pharo tools and one other with Object-Centric Breakpoints. Between the two tasks, you will have to follow a tutorialand warmup tasks to learn how to use the tool. **How to Participate:** All instructions are here, please read them carefully: https://github.com/Pharo-XP-Tools/XPImageGeneration/tree/exp-ocd **About the Experiment:** The experiment last between 40 minutes and 2 hours. Participants should have experience with Pharo development and debugging. We recommend having more than 6 months experience in Pharo and debugging in general. You will gain insights into the Object-Centric Breakpoints approach and contribute to advancements in debugging research. Help us to build better debugging tools that help you debug! **Some constraints:** - You are not allowed to load external tools and baselines, but you can use anything that is in the base image - Please do the experiment in one shot if possible without interruptions - The experiment sends anonymous data to our inria server, please make sure that you have a valid internet connection - Please try to use the object-centric breakpoints when the experimental framework asks you to **Notes:** Participation is voluntary, and everything is anonymous. You can abandon the experiment at any point (and your data will be discarded). For any question, you can contact us: steven.costiou@inria.fr and valentin.bourcier@inria.fr Thank you for considering participating in our study. Your contribution will be valuable in advancing the field of debugging and helping us understand what tools we need to build for Pharo. Sincerely, Steven and Valentin, EVREF team, Inria
