title = "Exploratory inspection - A learning model for improving open source software usability",
abstract = "We contend that overcoming the lack of usability expertise within the open source software community will further its competitiveness. Motivated by the unique user-driven model, we propose an exploratory learning method for assisting non-expert users in contributing to open source usability inspection. This method emphasizes providing usability knowledge during usability inspection and explores the impact of the {"}fading-out/phasing-in{"} method on the inspection effectiveness. The results of a pilot study we conducted through a Web-based inspection system are provided.",
