Using tracelab to design, execute, and baseline empirical requirements engineering experiments
Jane Cleland‐Huang, Adam Czauderna, Jane Huffman Hayes · 2013
As Requirements Engineering research continues to grow into a mature and rigorous discipline, an increasing focus is placed on the need for sound evaluation techniques that compare the benefits of a new solution against existing ones. In this tool demonstration we introduce TraceLab, an instrumented environment for modeling, executing, and comparatively evaluating experimental results. While initially developed for the Software Traceability domain, TraceLab provides a framework which can be populated with experiments, datasets, and reusable components for almost any empirical software engineering domain. In this demo we present examples from the Requirements Engineering domain.
