Abstract

In this paper, we introduce CIDER, a Concept-based Interactive DEsign Recovery tool that recovers a software design in the form of hierarchically organized concepts. In addition to facilitating design comprehension, it also enables designers to assess design quality and identify design problems. It integrates multiple clustering algorithms to reduce the complexity of the recovered design structure, leverages information retrieval techniques to name each cluster using the most relevant topic terms to ease design comprehension, and identifies and labels highly-coupled file clusters to reveal possible design problems. It enables interactive selection of concepts of interest and recovers partial design structures accordingly. The user can also interactively change the levels of recovered hierarchical structure to visualize the design at different granularities.

Recommendations

Teaching Inclusive Design Skills with the CIDER Assumption Elicitation Technique
Technology should be accessible and inclusive, so designers should learn to consider the needs of different users. Toward this end, we created the theoretically-grounded CIDER assumption elicitation technique, an educational analytical design evaluation ...
