Capturing and Analysing Usage of Interactive Computer-Based Tools.

Abstract

This report argues that computer based tools should incorporate features that Support the capture and analysis of usage information, particularly if these tools are to be used as part of a research program. In addition to discussing the issues that need to be considered in terms of tool instrumentation and analysis support, this report provides details of experiences gained through the instrumentation of a Computer Aided Software Engineering (CASE) tool.
