....As a case in point, let us consider the body of work by von Mayrhauser and Vans on the information needs of software comprehenders. von Mayrhauser and Vans developed a model of software comprehension [674,675] which they applied to analyze comprehension in a variety of tasks and environments [654, 671 673, 676, 677, 679, 680]. They wished to use the knowledge gained in these sorts of studies towards developing better tools. This case is of interest not because the research is poor (it is cited quite widely and positively) but because it is an example of research on cognition that did not really study cognitive ....

.... functional consensus) or on minimizing unfulfilled requirements (as does refinement difference) misses an important aspect of program adaptation: Much of the adaptation effort is spent trying to understand the component and trying to identify how to modify it to satisfy the target specification [18, 33, 46]. Hence not only do we need to minimize information of K that is left unfulfilled by C, we also need to minimize information of C that is irrelevant to K. Such information is likely to distract the programmer and waste her time understanding functional details of C that are, ultimately, irrelevant ....

It is structured around a hierarchy of goals, hypotheses and actions. 15, 16] report on comprehension behavior of four corrective maintenance subjects. These results support the Integrated Model, the switching behavior ....
