Quotations
310 ;;Quote: find user interface problems by automatically detecting repetitions in transcripts; e.g., error messages or repeated command sequences
313 ;;Quote: very large user interfaces are difficult to test; and user comments do not yield much information
315 ;;Quote: repeated action sequences in a user transcript can indicate needed macros, circumvention of problems, searches, and regenerating lost state information
316 ;;Quote: a maximal repeating pattern is as long as possible or occurs independently; use position trees for quadratic algorithm
321 ;;Quote: from 17K command lines found 3.5K maximal repeating patterns; indicated 12 problem classes, 8 of them new
325 ;;Quote: one year after collecting the data, users could remember tasks given the user transcript and a maximal repetitive pattern
330 ;;Quote: locating user interface problems by maximal repeating patterns also provides the raw transcript; helpful for debugging
