Hi all,
As part of a research work on watchpoints, we are setting up a survey to
gauge the general knowledge developers have on breakpoints/watchpoints.
It should take around 10 minutes to complete.
Here is the link to participate if you would be so kind:

If you are interested in the results, you can check the box at the end
of the survey and we will send you feedback on the results of the survey.
Additionally, we are going to set up a controlled experiment to evaluate
the effectiveness of a new type of watchpoints we are developing for Pharo.
The gist of it is that we will observe participants hunt some bugs, with
and without the new tool, and see if their performance improve.
So, if you know how to program in Pharo, and would be willing to
participate, there is a question in the survey to tell us you are
interested.
We will get research data, and you will get a new debugging tool in
Pharo. So it's a win-win.
That's it! Thanks for your time! And extra thanks if you take the survey
or consider participating in the experiment!
