In this paper, we describe a pilot study aimed to explore strategies used by non-programmer users to test trigger-action rules for customizing an IoT device. The main goal of our research was to examine strategies used by participants to detect and solve errors. In the pilot study, we asked non-programmers to imagine testing a set of rules, some of which were bugged. The pilot study was meant to understand the feasibility of this approach to investigate users' mental models while performing this kind of task.

Abstract
In this paper, we describe a pilot study aimed to explore strategies used by non-programmer users to test trigger-action rules for customizing an IoT device. The main goal of our research was to examine strategies used by participants to detect and solve errors. In the pilot study, we asked non-programmers to imagine testing a set of rules, some of which were bugged. The pilot study was meant to understand the feasibility of this approach to investigate users' mental models while performing this kind of task.File in questo prodotto:
