to increment productivity, while reducing the required maintenance and&lt;br /&gt;
programming expertise. In this context, the usability of these languages&lt;br /&gt;
becomes a major issue: if the language is not easy to learn and use, it is&lt;br /&gt;
unlikely to be successfully adopted.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
It is important to foster high quality DSLs during its engineering process.&lt;br /&gt;
We argue that a systematic approach based on User Interface Experi-&lt;br /&gt;
mental validation techniques should be used to assess the impact of the&lt;br /&gt;
introduction of DSLs in the productivity of DSL user. Productivity can&lt;br /&gt;
be fostered by assessing important usability attributes early in the lan-&lt;br /&gt;
guage construction . This work's contribution, besides highlighting the&lt;br /&gt;
problem of the absence of systematic approaches for experimental vali-&lt;br /&gt;
dation of DSLs in general, is to identify existing evaluation approaches&lt;br /&gt;
that can be adapted from the eld of User Interfaces.&lt;/p&gt;
