“…Since modeling actions and game progress are two separate concerns, modeling actions generated by students need to be caught, evaluated, and translated into corresponding game events. To do so, our plugin implements model listeners to catch 1 https://www.eclipse.org/papyrus/ modeling actions and retrieve model elements from the Papyrus editor. This data is sent to the Model Comparator for evaluation.…”

“…While modeling is now validated as effective for solving complex problems or developing complex systems, its widespread and systematic application has not yet lived up to expectations. Several studies have been led to analyse the reasons of this situation and highlighted several issues, including the complexity of the modeling languages and tools [1][2][3] and the lack of required skills in abstraction [4].…”

“…Several studies have explored the usability of UML modeling tools, mainly by comparing their different features (Auer et al 2007;Khaled 2009;Safdar et al 2015;Agner et al 2019;Planas & Cabot 2020). Usability is a core issue in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI).…”

“…Most studies employed empirical approaches, analyzing usability issues in a number of ways such as comparing usage between two different tools and assessing the productivity of the software engineers when modeling with these tools. For example, a recent study of Planas and Cabot examined the usability of two modeling tools, MagicDraw and Papyrus, by analyzing 12 hours of video recordings of students using the tools (Planas & Cabot 2020). They analyzed the usability of the tools from three perspectives: the modeling process, the modeling effort, and the modeling obstacles that the students encountered during the process.…”
