A domain-specific visual language for report writing using Microsoft DSL tools

Abstract: Many domain specific textual languages have been developed for generating complex reports. These are challenging for novice users to learn, understand and use. We describe our work developing the prototype of a new visual language tool for a company to augment their textual report writing language. We describe key motivations for our visual language tool solution, its architecture, design and development using Microsoft DSL tools, and its evaluation by end-users.

“…This is an example of DSL evaluation that does not involve professionals. Experiences from having end users evaluate a DSL have been described in the context of the printing and graphics arts industry [23]; the paper only presents the results of the evaluation without describing the method for obtaining them, but it is clear from the results that the empirical material was qualitative. Qualitative methods are applicable for problems that have received little academic attention, so that the researcher is not able to specify the relevant variables beforehand [11]; since obstacles to industrial adoption of MDE-based control engineering approaches are not well known, qualitative methods were chosen in our research.…”
