Supplementary material of the Study: "A Causal Loop Diagram supporting tool to bridge Systemic Thinking and Software Engineering"
Abstract
DescriptionThis artifact represents the study package of an evaluation of CaLMo (Causal Loop Diagram Modeler). It provides detailed documentation of the research protocol. Moreover, the artifact presents the results of the study. By organizing the information in a structured and systematic manner, the artifact becomes a valuable resource not only for the current investigation but also for future research aiming to extend the tool.Paper ReferenceThis artifact is related to the paper ‘A Causal Loop Diagram supporting tool to bridge Systemic Thinking and Software Engineering’, available on SBC OpenLib (SOL). You can access the PDF of the paper directly on SOL.Repository OrganizationAt the root of the repository, you will find three key files related to the Evaluating Study:Study Protocol to Evaluate CaLMo: presents the study protocol;CaLMo Evaluating Study - form: show us the question used to evaluate the study;CaLMo Evaluating Study (respostas): show us the answer from the software engineering.Ethical and Legal StatementsThis repository is protected under the CC BY 4.0 license.
