Abstract

Context and Motivation: Our recent work leverages Cognitive Psychology research on human errors to improve the standard fault-based requirements inspections. Question: The empirical study presented in this paper investigates the effectiveness of a newly developed Human Error Abstraction Assist (HEAA) tool in helping inspectors identify human errors to guide the fault detection during the requirements inspection. Results: The results showed that the HEAA tool, though effective, presented challenges during the error abstraction process. Contribution: In this experience report, we present major challenges during the study execution and lessons learned for future replications.
