Abstract
Novice learners of programming tend to neglect error messages, even though the messages have a lot of useful information for solving problems. While there exists research that aims to user-friendly error messages by changing the wording and by adding visual assistance, most of them do not focus on drawing learners' attention to error messages. We propose the enbugging quiz, a novel quiz format that requests the learner to craft a program that produces a specified error. This paper reports our design of enbugging quizzes and reports the results of our initial experiment, where we observed positive effects on the learners' attitudes towards error messages.
