A Family of Experiments on Test-Driven Development
Adrian Santos, Sira Vegas, Oscar Dieste +18
Context: Test-driven development (TDD) is an agile software development approach that has been widely claimed to improve software quality. However, the extent to which TDD improves…
Comparing the Results of Replications in Software Engineering
Adrian Santos, Sira Vegas, Markku Oivo +1
Context: It has been argued that software engineering replications are useful for verifying the results of previous experiments. However, it has not yet been agreed how to check wh…
Empirical Standards for Software Engineering Research
Paul Ralph, Nauman bin Ali, Sebastian Baltes +39
Empirical Standards are natural-language models of a scientific community's expectations for a specific kind of study (e.g. a questionnaire survey). The ACM SIGSOFT Paper and Peer…
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…
A Procedure and Guidelines for Analyzing Groups of Software Engineering Replications
Adrian Santos, Sira Vegas, Markku Oivo +1
Context: Researchers from different groups and institutions are collaborating on building groups of experiments by means of replication (i.e., conducting groups of replications). D…
