Yet, there is little research investigating the use of sketches. We want to contribute a better understanding of sketching, in particular its use during program comprehension. We propose a controlled experiment to investigate the effectiveness and efficiency of program comprehension with the support of sketches as well as what sketches are used in what way.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess004Empirical research plan: effects of sketching on program comprehensionconferenceObject
