Abstract

Web mashups can add "agility" to software construction by enabling end-users without programming skills to compose their own service software on the basis of existing services. All that is needed for such purposes is a good mashup composition tool. The question remains how helpful and useful such tools really are for their users. To this end we have conducted a survey in which the participants were confronted with a widely-used representative of mashup tool and a typical mashup composition task. By-and-large the participants of the survey did well and the mashup tools seem to be able to fulfill their promises.
