KitchenhamEtAl.CorrelationsAmongParticipants.Abrahao13TSE data

Description

Data illustrate correlations between results from individual participants in a family of five cross-over experiments conducted by Abrahao et al: [1] S. Abrahao, C. Gravino, E. Insfran Pelozo, G. Scanniello, and G. Tortora, 'Assessing the effectiveness of sequence diagrams in the comprehension of functional requirements: Results from a family of five experiments,' IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering, vol. 39, no. 3, pp. 327–342, March 2013 The five experiments assess whether the comprehensibility of function requirements improve when software models include UML sequence diagrams.

Usage

KitchenhamEtAl.CorrelationsAmongParticipants.Abrahao13TSE

Format

A data frame with 224 rows and 8 variables:

ExperimentID

<fct>|ExperimentID: A unique identifier for each of the five experiments in the data set.

ParticipantID

<fct>|Participant ID: An identifier for each participant, unique for a specific experiment.

SequenceGroup

<fct>|Experimental Sequence Group: A (DM-NODM,ECP-EPlat or MShop-Theatre ), B (NODM-DM,ECP-EPlat or MShop-Theatre ), C(DM-NODM,EPlat-ECP or Theatre-MShop), D(NODM-DM,EPlat-ECP or Theatre-MShop)

System

<fct>|Software systems used in the experiment: ECP an e-commerce platform from which CDs and books can be bought, EPlat a system for the management of courses, lectures and students of a university, M-Shop a system for managing sales at a music shop, Theatre a system for managing bookings for a theatre.

Period

<fct>|Time period of the cross-over experiment: 1 or 2

Treatment

<fct>|Experimental Treatment: A Dynamic Model (DM) vs No Dynamic Model (NODM)

Comprehension

<dbl>|Dependent variable: The comprehension level the software engineer achieved based on the F-measure

CrossOverID

<fct>|CrossOver category: For 4 group crossover designs, the crossover category specifies the matching pairs of sequence groups, CO1 and CO2. For a 2 group crossover, the category is set to CO1 only

Ability

<fct>|Ability: An assessment of the ability of participants: Low, High, NA (not available)
