This exploratory study examines the nature of program understanding strategies employed during a series of comprehension and maintenance activities carried out over time. Two dimensions of comprehension were examined: the direction of comprehension and the breadth of comprehension. Thirty expert pro

Recently I had the opportunity to read the Intel manual introducing the iAPX 432 architecture. The manual is an amalgam of an informal overview of the hardware, a quick tutorial review of computer architectures in general, an introduction to the advanced concepts of the 432 in particular, and market
This paper reports on two experiments comparing mental representations and program comprehension by novices in the object-oriented and procedural styles. The subjects were novice programmers enrolled in a second course in programming which taught either the object-oriented or the procedural paradigm
This study examines the mental representations formed during program comprehension and maintenance by procedural and object-oriented (OO) experts. The programmer's mental representation reflects comprehension of a program and guides tasks carried out on the program, such as debugging and modificatio
