KitchenhamEtAl.CorrelationsAmongParticipants.Scanniello14JVLC data

Description

Data illustrate correlations between results from individual participants in a cross-over experiment conducted by Scanniello and Erra: [1] G. Scanniello and U. Erra, 'Distributed modeling of use case diagrams with a method based on think-pair-square: Results from two controlled experiments', Journal of Visual Languages and Computing, vol. 25, no. 4, pp. 494–517, 2014. The experiment investigated whether a new method based on think-pair-square and its implementation in a integrated communication/modeling environment (TPS approach) is as effective as traditional face-to-face (F2F approach) for requirements elicitation. The experiment was performed in two stages using different software systems. If you use this data set please cite: [1] G. Scanniello and U. Erra, 'Distributed modeling of use case diagrams with a method based on think-pair-square: Results from two controlled experiments,” Journal of Visual Languages and Computing, vol. 25, no. 4, pp. 494–517, 2014.
