Understanding users’ behavior with software operation data mining

作者:

Highlights:

• We inspect different types of knowledge about software users’ usage behavior.

• We select state-of-the-art data mining techniques to analyze software usage.

• We create a method for mining usage knowledge from software operation data.

• We instantiate the method in a prototype developed in R.

• We evaluate the Usage Mining Method and the prototype by means of a case study.
