managers. However, experience has taught us that the Users play a very important role in&lt;br /&gt;
software development and construction. On Domain Specific Languages the inclusion of the&lt;br /&gt;
domain experts directly in the development cycle is a very important characteristic, as they have&lt;br /&gt;
often an important role in making and constraining the domain of the language.&lt;br /&gt;
DSLs are credited with increased productivity and ease of use, but this fact is hardly ever proven.&lt;br /&gt;
Moreover, usability tests are frequently only performed at the final stages of the project when&lt;br /&gt;
changes have a significant impact on the budget. To help prevent this, in this paper we present a&lt;br /&gt;
pattern language for evaluating the usability of DSLs. Our patterns can help show how to use an&lt;br /&gt;
iterative usability validation development strategy to produce DSLs that can achieve a high&lt;br /&gt;
degree of usability.&lt;/p&gt;
