Is Transition Systems Approach of Modeling Software Systems Hard to Learn and Use?

Published: 05 December 2023 Publication History

Abstract

Modeling software systems as transition systems can improve system comprehension for novice engineers and graduating students. However, this requires them to learn the vocabulary of transition systems and its use. We hypothesize that it is not hard for them to do so. To test this, we did a very short intervention in a software engineering course for two cohorts of students. Based on the transition systems knowledge demonstrated by the cohorts, we conclude that it is not hard for them to learn the vocabulary of transition system and its use. This result gives confidence to start designing longer intervention and study their effectiveness.
