How Novices Perceive Interactive Theorem Provers (Extended Abstract)
Fri 6 Sep 2024 11:45 - 12:07 at Orange 1 - Usability, testing and static analysis
Interactive theorem provers (ITPs) are known to have a steep learning curve and poor usability. This hinders their spread into commercial software development, wasting their potential to improve software quality. To understand what makes them inaccessible to novices, we conducted an online survey among bachelor students, asking them to list the obstacles they encountered while learning Agda. Analysis of the results revealed design choices and tool deficiencies which do not provide an adequate level of support to beginner nor advanced users. These observations point to one prominent point of improvement: providing a more accessible and sturdy infrastructure for ITP programmers.
