Together we are stronger
Waldemar Ferreira · 2014
This paper presents the main goals, questions, and methods of my PhD research. This research focuses on facilitating the conduction of distributed human-oriented experiments in software engineering (SE). First, I am studying how the experiments are being conducted in SE and what are the challenges in conducting distributed experiments. Second, I plan to propose a platform able to mitigate the challenges encountered. Finally, I am going to evaluate the proposed solution using both academic-industrial experiments. The research was divided in phases and each phase is based on a research question. Moreover, I propose a set of empirical studies that intends to provide answer to each research question.
