Content and structure of laboratory packages for software engineering experiments
Martín Solari, Sira Vegas, Natalia Juristo
Context: Experiment replications play a central role in the scientific method. Although software engineering experimentation has matured a great deal, the number of experiment repl…
Studying Test-Driven Development and its Retainment Over a Six-month Time Span
Maria Teresa Baldassarre, Danilo Caivano, Davide Fucci +4
In this paper, we investigate the effect of TDD, as compared to a non-TDD approach, as well as its retainment (or retention) over a time span of (about) six months. To pursue these…
Researcher Bias in Software Engineering Experiments: a Qualitative Investigation
Simone Romano, Davide Fucci, Giuseppe Scanniello +3
Researcher Bias (RB) occurs when researchers influence the results of an empirical study based on their expectations.RB might be due to the use of Questionable Research Practices(Q…
Increasing Validity Through Replication: An Illustrative TDD Case
Adrian Santos, Sira Vegas, Fernando Uyaguari +3
Context: Software Engineering (SE) experiments suffer from threats to validity that may impact their results. Replication allows researchers building on top of previous experiments…
Improving Development Practices through Experimentation: an Industrial TDD Case
Adrian Santos, Jaroslav Spisak, Markku Oivo +1
Test-Driven Development (TDD), an agile development approach that enforces the construction of software systems by means of successive micro-iterative testing coding cycles, has be…
Comparing Techniques for Aggregating Interrelated Replications in Software Engineering
Adrian Santos, Natalia Juristo
Context: Researchers from different groups and institutions are collaborating towards the construction of groups of interrelated replications. Applying unsuitable techniques to agg…
Does the performance of TDD hold across software companies and premises? A group of industrial experiments on TDD
Adrian Santos, Janne Jarvinen, Jari Partanen +2
Test-Driven Development (TDD) has been claimed to increase external software quality. However, the extent to which TDD increases external quality has been seldom studied in industr…
A Longitudinal Cohort Study on the Retainment of Test-Driven Development
Davide Fucci, Simone Romano, Maria Teresa Baldassarre +4
Background: Test-Driven Development (TDD) is an agile software development practice, which is claimed to boost both external quality of software products and developers' productivi…
Moving Beyond the Mean: Analyzing Variance in Software Engineering Experiments
Adrian Santos, Markku Oivo, Natalia Juristo
Software Engineering (SE) experiments are traditionally analyzed with statistical tests (e.g., t-tests, ANOVAs, etc.) that assume equally spread data across treatments (i.e., the h…
Analyzing Families of Experiments in SE: A Systematic Mapping Study
Adrian Santos, Omar Gomez, Natalia Juristo
Context: Families of experiments (i.e., groups of experiments with the same goal) are on the rise in Software Engineering (SE). Selecting unsuitable aggregation techniques to analy…
