The advent of smartphones and Internet tablets provides unique opportunities for running large-scale, insitu experiments in the wild. However, the steep learning curve of building mobile applications makes it difficult for researchers in most fields to design and deploy cognitive, behavioral, and social experiments on mobile platforms. Inspired by contextual inquiries with domain researchers and a comprehensive literature survey, we present e-Chimera, a visual end-user programming environment for designing and prototyping experiments on mobile devices. The e-Chimera IDE provides a statechart-based, multi-level visual language to create experiments at the workflow, trial, and screen interaction level. The e-Chimera runtime, driven by a Domain-Specific Language (DSL), enables high fidelity, cross-platform application deployment. Overall, e-Chimera integrates design, test, deployment, and analysis of mobile experiments. Through a 12-subject user study, we found e-Chimera effective and easy to use.
