Voraussetzungen:

Kurzfassung:

In this seminar, we will discuss empirical methods in software engineering research such as controlled experiments, case studies, surveys, literature studies and action research.

Lernziele:

You will learn how empirical research in software engineering works. This way, you will become prepared to do your own research in post-graduate research, such as MSc and PhD theses. For such research activities, you will need to formulate hypotheses, build theories, analyze data, discuss treats to validity of empirical results, and finally publish the results.

Lehrinhalte:

We will review representative publications on empirical methods in software engineering research.

Weitere Voraussetzungen:

You should be interested in software engineering research.

Prüfungsleistung:

Elaborated seminar paper, peer reviews, scientific presentation.

Lehr- und Lernmethoden:

Work with scientific literature.
