“Empirical usability evaluations (particularly formative evaluations [13]) hinge on observing and interpreting critical incidents [8] of use. We proposed [3,5] augmenting critical incident methods by analysis of what we called critical threads: sets of causally related user episodes that, taken together, define major usability themes. This paper extends this work to the comparative usability analysis of a related artifact. We discuss how our earlier claims analysis was used to orient and simplify our current evaluation efforts.”

In: Alty, James L., Diaper, Dan and Guest, D. (eds.) Proceedings of the Eighth Conference of the British Computer Society Human Computer Interaction Specialist Group - People and Computers VIII August 7-10, 1993, Loughborough University, UK. pp. 279-292.

“Empirical usability evaluations (particularly 'formative' evaluations) hinge on observing and interpreting critical incidents of use: the causes of such critical incidents can often be found in the immediate contexts of their occurrence and can guide specific design changes. However, it can also happen that the causes of a critical incident are temporally remote from its context of occurrence or distributed throughout the user's prior experiences. We propose augmenting critical incident methods by analysis of what we call 'critical threads': sets of causally related user episodes that, taken together, define major usability themes.”

In: Koenemann-Belliveau, Jurgen, Moher, Thomas G. and Robertson, Scott P. (eds.) Proceedings of the Fourth Annual Workshop on Empirical Studies of Programmers 1991, Norwood, New Jersey, USA. pp. 177-195.

“When generating source code, programmers are required to communicate a set of tasks to be performed such that they are interpreted correctly by both a computer and other programmers. We report a study in which expert programmers improved the clarity of a program in an attempt to communicate specific program knowledge to novice programmers. We examined descriptive commenting and addition of white space as methods of communication applied by experts. We discuss plausible factors which motivate the use of these different methods of communication. The results of this study provide insight by which to improve code-based communication between expert and novice programmers.”
