KitchenhamEtAl.CorrelationsAmongParticipants.Scanniello14EASE data

Description

Data illustrate correlations between results from individual participants in a family of two cross-over experiments conducted by Scanniello et al: [1] G. Scanniello, M. Staron, H. Burden, and R. Heldal, 'On the effect of using SysML requirement diagrams to comprehend requirements: results from two controlled experiments,' in Proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Evaluation and Assessment in Software Engineering, EASE. ACM, 2014. The two experiments investigate whether requirements specified as SysML requirement diagrams improve the comprehensibility of requirements. If you use this data set please cite: [1] G.

Usage

KitchenhamEtAl.CorrelationsAmongParticipants.Scanniello14EASE

Format

A data frame with 174 rows and 9 variables:

ExperimentID

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

ParticipantID

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

SequenceGroup

<fct>|Experimental Sequence Group: A (RD-NORD,Automobile-ESS), B (NORD-RD,ESS-Automobile), C(NORD-RD,Automobile-ESS), D(RD-NORD,ESS-Automobile).

System

<fct>|Software systems used in the experiment: Automobile: A system for controlling car behavior with use cases about entering the car, anti-lock breaking or operating the climate control of a car. ESS (Enhanced Security System) a system designed to detect potential home intruders.

Period

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

Treatment

<fct>|Experimental Treatment: RD availability of a SysML requirements diagram vs No requirements diagram (NORD)

Time

<dbl>|Dependent variable: The time [min] required for the comprehension task.

Comprehension

<dbl>|Dependent variable: The comprehension level the software engineer achieved.

CrossOverID

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