Abstract
We describe the design, execution and results of an em­
pirical study concerning a domain­specific language, tool
and technique to facilitate software test result checking. The
study was aimed at finding deficiencies in the technology it­
self and in the methods we used to train users in the tech­
nology. We identify several such deficiencies, and suggest
remedies for the technology.
Keywords: Testing, test oracles, test result checking,
case studies, human subjects, training methods
