“…Therefore, we thought that composite states deserved further investigation, and performed specific experiments in order to study deeply the effects of composite states on the understandability of UML statechart diagrams. The complete process and results, that indicated that using composite states did not significantly improve the understandability of simple UML statechart diagrams were published in [20].…”

“…The controlled experiment performed by Cruz-Lemus et al [7] highlights that the use of composite states in UML statecharts improves the understandability of the diagrams when subjects had previous experience in using them. Similar results have been obtained by Briand et al [4] who establish that training is required in order to achieve better results when UML is completed with the use of OCL (Object Constraint Language) [14].…”

“…The subjects were allowed to check the diagram to answer the question. This is a kind of task we had already used in previous studies (Cruz-Lemus et al 2005a;Cruz-Lemus et al 2005b). With this test, we studied the UEffec variable.…”
