Journal ArticleDOI
Comparing detection methods for software requirements inspections: a replicated experiment
TL;DR: In this paper, a 3/spl times/2/sup 4/ partial factorial, randomized experimental design was used to evaluate the performance of Scenario-based and Checklist-based methods for software requirements inspection.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Empirical studies of software engineering: a roadmap
TL;DR: The strengths and weaknesses of empirical research in software engineering are summarized and a roadmap for improving the current situation is presented, which includes a general structure for software empirical studies and concrete steps for achieving these goals.
Journal ArticleDOI
People, organizations, and process improvement
TL;DR: The authors report on two experiments to discover how developers spend their time and describe how noncoding activities can use up development time and how even a reluctance to use e-mail can influence the development process.
Proceedings Article
Identifying Reasons for Software Changes Using Historic Databases
Audris Mockus,Lawrence G. Votta +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors have designed a program, which automatically classifies maintenance activity based on a textual description of changes and found strong relationships between the type and size of a change and the time required to carry it out.
Journal ArticleDOI
Does every inspection need a meeting
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed two alternative fault collection methods, either of which would eliminate the inspection meetings altogether: (a) collect faults by deposition (small face-to-face meetings of two or three persons), or (b) collect fault using verbal or written media (telephone, electronic mail, or notes).
