Abstract:

Experimentation and data collection are becoming accepted practices within the software engineering community to determine the effectiveness of various software development practices. However, there is wide disagreement as to exactly what the term "experimentation " means in this domain. It is important that we understand this concept and identify how we can best collect data needed to validate software methods that are effective. This understanding will provide a basis for improved technical exchange of information between scientists and engineers within the software community.
