TL;DR: The paper discusses the experience of the authors, based upon a collection of experiments, in terms of a framework for organizing sets of related studies, with specific emphasis on persistent problems encountered in experimental design, threats to validity, criteria for evaluation, and execution of experiments in the domain of software engineering.

TL;DR: This book gathers chapters from some of the top international empirical software engineering researchers focusing on the practical knowledge necessary for conducting, reporting and using empirical methods in software engineering.

TL;DR: Teams applying PBR are shown to achieve significantly better coverage of documents than teams that do not apply PBR, and the threats to validity are discussed so that external replications can benefit from the lessons learned and improve the experimental design.

TL;DR: This paper identifies two types of replications: exact replications, in which the procedures of an experiment are followed as closely as possible; and conceptual replication, inWhich the same research question is evaluated by using a different experimental procedure.

TL;DR: Researchers from four institutions organized an eWorkshop to synchronously and virtually discuss and gather experiences and knowledge from eighteen Agile experts spread across the globe, and found common success factors and identified warning signs of problems in Agile projects.
