| Thesis |
"A Testing Methdology and
Architecture for Computer Supported Cooperative Work Software"
Despite enourmous protential, CSCW software is still immature. In
particular, leading researchers in both the CSCW and testing fields have
noted that CSCW testing tools are non-existent. This thesis
contributes a methodology and architecture for execution-based testing of
CSCW software.

| Rebecca-J
V2.0 |
A
multi user testing system implemented in Java. The system was based
on the methodology and architecture presented in my thesis. It is
much more sophisticated than V1.0 and includes features like multi user testing,
triggers, threshold models, timers, synchronization primitives, native java scripting,
a sophisticated event editor, and an extensible set
of classes. To take advantage of V2.0 you should read Chapter Six
of my thesis entitled "Rebecca: An Architecture for Testing CSCW
Applications". Tested on Java 1.2.0. |
| Rebecca-J V1.0 |
A single user record/playback Java bean. If you
are interested in a simple program to record/playback user
interactions for any program that uses AWT or JFC, then Rebecca is
for you. Tested on Java 1.1.7b/JFC 1.0.3. |
| Candidacy Talk |
The powerpoint slides from my
candidacy exam. A good overview of what I thought my thesis would look
like. |
| Candidacy Proposal |
"An Architecture for Testing Synchronous Multiuser
Software" Contains literature survey, discussion of problems testing
multiuser software, first hand experiences from developing
CollabBillboard, and proposed solutions. |
| Exploring Learning in
Rensselaer's Classroom-in-the-Round |
A technical report discussing results from the
CollabBillboard experiment. Includes a discussion of other work
being done by Rensselaer's Collaborative Classroom Research
Group. |
| CollabBillboard |
A synchronous multiuser program that uses explicit
task division to induce collaboration. Includes a technical
report and materials from a study I conducted that showed a statistically
significant higher incidence of collaboration when the explicit task
division version of the program was used versus a control. |
| Rensselaer's Collaborative
Classroom Research Group |
Rensselaer's CSCW research group.
Focuses on our Classroom-in-the-Round, a classroom designed from the
bottom-up to help students and teachers work together using architecture,
furniture design, hardware, software, and teaching styles. |
| University
of Calgary's GroupLab |
A great research group in the area of CSCW.
Check out their GroupKit project: a set of multiuser aware GUI
widgets. |
| CSCW Web Site |
A good starting point for CSCW
resources. |
