MoLVERIC: An inspection technique for MoLIC diagrams

Abstract

During interaction design, interaction models are developed to help design adequate user interaction with the system. MoLIC (Modeling Language for Interaction as Conversation) is a language used to represent an interaction model, which can then be used as a basis for building other artifacts, such as mockups. However, inspections are necessary to verify whether the MoLIC diagrams are complete, consistent, unambiguous, and contain few or no defects, to avoid propagating preventable defects to derived artifacts. In this paper, we present MoLVERIC, a technique for the inspection of MoLIC diagrams that uses cards with verification items and employs principles of gamification. Furthermore, we discuss the results of a pilot study conducted to analyze the feasibility of this technique.
