Visibility of Domain Elements in the Elicitation Process: A Family of Empirical Studies
Alejandrina Aranda, Oscar Dieste, José Ignacio Panach +1
Background: Various factors determine analyst effectiveness during elicitation. While the literature suggests that elicitation technique and time are influential factors, other att…
Using the SOCIO Chatbot for UML Modelling: A Family of Experiments
Ranci Ren, John W. Castro, Adrián Santos +2
Context: Recent developments in natural language processing have facilitated the adoption of chatbots in typically collaborative software engineering tasks (such as diagram modelli…
Impact of Usability Mechanisms: A Family of Experiments on Efficiency, Effectiveness and User Satisfaction
Juan M. Ferreira, Francy Rodríguez, Adrián Santos +2
Context: The usability software quality attribute aims to improve system user performance. In a previous study, we found evidence of the impact of a set of usability characteristic…
Effect of Requirements Analyst Experience on Elicitation Effectiveness: A Family of Empirical Studies
Alejandrina M. Aranda, Oscar Dieste, Jose I. Panach +1

The role of slicing in test-driven development
Oscar Dieste, Ayse Tosun, Sira Vegas +4
Test-driven development (TDD) is a widely used agile practice. However, very little is known with certainty about TDD's underlying foundations, i.e., the way TDD works. In this pap…
Relevant information in TDD experiment reporting
Fernando Uyaguari, Silvia T. Acuña, John W. Castro +3
Experiments are a commonly used method of research in software engineering (SE). Researchers report their experiments following detailed guidelines. However, researchers do not, in…
Test cases as a measurement instrument in experimentation
Oscar Dieste, Fernando Uyaguari, Sira Vegas +1
Background: Test suites are frequently used to quantify relevant software attributes, such as quality or productivity. Problem: We have detected that the same response variable, me…
A City upon a Hill: Casting Light on a Real Experimental Process
Efraín R. Fonseca C., Marta López-Fernández, Oscar Dieste +1
Context: The overall scientific community is proposing measures to improve the reproducibility and replicability of experiments. Reproducibility is relatively easy to achieve. Howe…
Publication Bias: A Detailed Analysis of Experiments Published in ESEM
Rolando P. Reyes, Óscar Dieste, Efraín R. Fonseca C. +1
Background: Publication bias is the failure to publish the results of a study based on the direction or strength of the study findings. The existence of publication bias is firmly…
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…
