Experiences conducting experiments in industry
Natália Juristo · 2016
The Experimental Software Engineering Industry Laboratory (ESEIL) project funded by the Finland Distinguished Professor Programme (FiDiPro) kicked off in January 2013. The aim of this research is to gain insight into whether experiments in the software industry can play the role of clinical trials in medicine, that is, field test laboratory findings, acting as the last link in the experimental chain. Besides this research goal, we believe that companies can benefit from the conducted experiments by applying the resulting evidence in their decision-making processes.
