The purpose of Experimentation in Software Engineering: An
Introduction is to introduce students, teachers, researchers, and
practitioners to experimentation and experimental evaluation with a
focus on software engineering. The objective is, in particular, to
provide guidelines for performing experiments evaluating methods,
techniques and tools in software engineering. The introduction is
provided through a process perspective. The focus is on the steps
that we go through to perform experiments and quasi-experiments.
The process also includes other types of empirical studies.
The motivation for the book emerged from the need for support we
experienced when turning our software engineering research more
experimental. Several books are available which either treat the
subject in very general terms or focus on some specific part of
experimentation; most focus on the statistical methods in
experimentation. These are important, but there were few books
elaborating on experimentation from a process perspective, none
addressing experimentation in software engineering in
particular.
The scope of Experimentation in Software Engineering: An
Introduction is primarily experiments in software engineering as a
means for evaluating methods, techniques and tools. The book
provides some information regarding empirical studies in general,
including both case studies and surveys. The intention is to
provide a brief understanding of these strategies and in particular
to relate them to experimentation.
Experimentation in Software Engineering: An Introduction is
suitable for use as a textbook or a secondary text for graduate
courses, and for researchers and practitioners interested in an
empirical approach to software engineering.
