Equivalence hypothesis testing in experimental software engineering

Software Quality Journal, 2013
This article introduces the application of equivalence hypothesis testing (EHT) into the Empirical Software Engineering field. Equivalence (also known as bioequivalence in pharmacological studies) is a statistical approach that answers the question "is product T equivalent to some other reference product R within some range $$\Updelta$$ ?." The ...

Knowledge-Sharing Issues in Experimental Software Engineering

Empirical Software Engineering, 2004
Recently the awareness of the importance of replicating studies has been growing in the empirical software engineering community. The results of any one study cannot simply be extrapolated to all environments because there are many uncontrollable sources of variation between different environments. In our work, we have reasoned that the availability

Towards Improving Experimentation in Software Engineering

Brazilian Symposium on Software Engineering, 2021
[Background:] Experimentation in Software Engineering plays a central role on sharing and verifying scientific findings. As experiments have increased significantly in Software Engineering area, we observe that most of them fail to provide a way to be repeated, replicated or reproduced, thus jeopardizing or delaying the evolution of the Software ...

Experimental validation in software engineering

Information and Software Technology, 1997
Although experimentation is an accepted approach toward scientific validation in most scientific disciplines, it only recently has gained acceptance within the software development community. In this paper we discuss a 12-model classification scheme for performing experimentation within the software development domain.

Experimental software engineering (STESE)

36th Annual Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, 2003. Proceedings of the, 2003
Software engineering theory and practice is still to a large extent based more on faith than on science. Only by contributing to the scientific and empirically grounded body of knowledge within a specific area of application, theory and practice can develop.

Experimental software engineering

Proceedings of the 17th international conference on Software engineering - ICSE '95, 1995
The goal of this session is to make the software engineering community aware of the opportunities that exist to pursue such an experimental approach. In the remainder of the essay, we describe an emerging model for empirical work and the language for discussing it. We then focus on the current state of experimental software engineering, the road blocks

CBR for Experimental Software Engineering

1998
The objective of our work is to exploit the mutual interrelations between case-based reasoning and experimental software engineering (ESE) for the sake of both fields. In particular, we address the following topics: Presentation of a logical infrastructure of organizational learning in the software domain that makes use of principles, methods, and

Experimental Software Engineering: A New Conference

IEEE Software, 2006
An interesting issue facing software engineering relates to the evidence for adopting new techniques, tools, languages methodologies, and so on. We shouldn't always reject new models based on pure argument and logic, but ideally, we should subject such developments to some form of validation.

Experimentation in Software Engineering

1997
Abstract Empirical software engineering research can be organized in several ways, including experiments, cases studies, and surveys. Experiments sample over the variables, trying to represent all possible cases; cases studies sample from the variables, representing only the typical cases(s).
