   ABSTRACT     = {Program comprehension is an essential part of any 
      maintenance activity. It allows developers to build mental models of 
      the program before undertaking any change. It has been studied by the 
      research community for many years to devise models and tools to 
      understand and ease this activity. Recently, researchers introduced 
      the use of eye-tracking devices to gather and analyse data about the 
      developers' cognitive processes during program comprehension. 
      However, eye-tracking devices are not completely reliable and, thus, 
      recorded data sometimes must be processed, filtered, or corrected. 
      Moreover, the analysis software tools packaged with eye-tracking 
      devices are not open-source and do not always provide extension 
      points to seamlessly integrate new sophisticated analyses. 
      Consequently, we develop the Taupe software system to help 
      researchers visualise, analyse and edit the data recorded by 
      eye-tracking devices. The two main objectives of Taupe are neutrality 
      and extensibility so that researchers can easily (1) apply the system 
      on any eye-tracking data and (2) extend the system with their own 
      analyses. To meet our objectives, we base the development of the 
      Taupe: (1) on well-known good practices, such as design patterns and 
      a plug-in architecture using reflection, (2) on a thorough 
      documentation, validation and verification process, and (3) on 
      lessons learned from existing analysis software systems. This paper 
      describes the context of development of the Taupe, the architectural 
      and design choices made during its development, and its 
      documentation, validation and verification process. It also 
      illustrates the application of Taupe in three experiments on the use 
      of design patterns by developers during program comprehension.}
