Jedlitschka, A., Ayari, B., & Weibelzahl, S. (2004). Is it worthwhile to model users of a tool in support of SE technology selection. In Proceedings of Lernen - Wissensentdeckung - Adaptivität (LWA2004) , October 4-6, 2004, Humboldt University (pp. 36-41). Berlin.
Decision support in software engineering is an emerging field. The need to select the best method, technique or tool in a given business context is becoming more and more important in an increasingly competitive world where time-to-market, budget constraints, and the achievement of functionality and quality goals are becoming crucial for achieving a company’s business goals. This paper presents on-going research towards the development of a decision support system that aims at improving software engineering technology selection by software managers. To evaluate if it is worth-while to invest into a user modeling approach for that specific system, we conducted a pilot study amongst research managers regarding their presentation preferences. Our main finding is, that the target user group is in doubt whether they would benefit from a user modeling approach. Moreover, we were not able to demonstrate differences in the information need for different roles.
