Abstract
|
|
|---|---|
| An empirical software engineering (ESE) PhD thesis has some special features, which makes it slightly different from a thesis any other different field. One of the differences between the two is the intensive use of empirical studies in an ESE dissertation. This talk starts by giving students advice on what makes a good ESE PhD thesis in the form of a list of do?s and don?ts. The keynote later discusses what different empirical studies can be used (surveys, case studies and experiments). Finally, it focuses on one specific type of empirical study: controlled experiments. Experimentation is a risky business, and software engineering (SE) has some special features, leading to some experimentation issues being conceived of differently than in other disciplines. Some advice is given on how to analyse SE experiments. | |
