Practical relevance of software engineering research: Synthesizing the community's voice
Vahid Garousi, Markus Borg, Markku Oivo
Software engineering (SE) research should be relevant to industrial practice. There have been regular discussions in the SE community on this issue since the 1980's, led by pioneer…
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…
Software Process Measurement and Related Challenges in Agile Software Development: A Multiple Case Study
Prabhat Ram, Pilar Rodriguez, Markku Oivo
Existing scientific literature highlights the importance of metrics in Agile Software Development (ASD). Still, empirical investigation into metrics in ASD is scarce, particularly…
Test Prioritization in Continuous Integration Environments
Alireza Haghighatkhah, Mika Mäntylä, Markku Oivo +1
Two heuristics namely diversity-based (DBTP) and history-based test prioritization (HBTP) have been separately proposed in the literature. Yet, their combination has not been widel…
Test Case Prioritization Using Test Similarities
Alireza Haghighatkhah, Mika Mäntylä, Markku Oivo +1
A classical heuristic in software testing is to reward diversity, which implies that a higher priority must be assigned to test cases that differ the most from those already priori…
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…
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…
Status Quo in Requirements Engineering: A Theory and a Global Family of Surveys
Stefan Wagner, Daniel Méndez Fernández, Michael Felderer +20
Requirements Engineering (RE) has established itself as a software engineering discipline during the past decades. While researchers have been investigating the RE discipline with…
