Abstract

We conducted experiments to evaluate on-line data dependency diagrams for spreadsheets. Results were consistent those of earlier experiments with written data dependency diagrams. Although users had no trouble browsing the on-line diagrams, the diagrams did not seem to improve the performance of a maintenance task on a small spreadsheet. The diagrams may be helpful for larger spreadsheets.
