ValiDEPlan — Validity-Driven Software Engineering Experiments Planning Tool
Resumo
Um dos principais problemas mencionados por pesquisadores na engenharia de software experimental é lidar com as diversas ameaças à validade de seus experimentos. Sabe-se que quanto mais cedo a ameaça for identificada e tratada maior a chance de minimizar essas possíveis ameaças. Este artigo apresenta uma ferramenta de planejamento de experimento orientada a ameaças à validade para identificar e priorizar ameaças, além de sugerir ações de controle para mitigar os problemas identificados. Esta ferramenta é uma evolução da Reviewer EP, uma plataforma web colaborativa para revisão da completude de planos experimentais, podendo ser útil tanto para pesquisadores experientes quanto inexperientes.
