As the computer science and software engineering community recognizes the importance of empirical studies, we look to many other disciplines for models of empirical work. At the core of many of these models are methods and techniques refined over the years that are known to be credible to the discipline's typical environments. One way of capturing this knowledge is to abstract the method into an experimental design, but what is an experimental design? I try to take some mystery out of experimental design. The key ideas are to recognize that science and engineering are founded upon credibility, which can range in empirical studies from the weak credibility of specific, non-verifiable, anecdotal reports to the strong credibility of experiments to show a casual relationship with that of the case study somewhere in the middle. The experimental design is the logic and interpretation infrastructure that attempts to show a causal relationship. I describe several experimental designs from different disciplines and abstract the key elements to form an operational definition. Finally, I observe that computer science and software engineering environments are similar to the biological sciences and conclude that an excellent match for our environments is the in vivo and in vitro empirical model and their experimental designs.","PeriodicalId":444081,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Fifth International Software Metrics Symposium.

The Coupling Between Objects (CBO) metric of Chidamber and Kemerer (1991) is evaluated empirically using five OO systems, and compared with an alternative OO design metric called SAS, which measures the number of associations between a class and its peers. The NAS metric is directly collectible from design documents such as the Object Model of OMT. Results from all systems studied indicate a strong relationship between CBO and NAS, suggesting that they are not orthogonal. We hypothesised that coupling would be related to understandability, the number of errors and error density. So relationships were found for any of the systems between class understandability and coupling. Only limited evidence was found to support our hypothesis linking increased coupling to increased error density. The work described in this paper is part of the 'Metrics for OO Programming Systems' (MOOPS) project, which aims to evaluate existing OO metrics, and to innovate and evaluate new OO analysis and design metrics, aimed specifically at the early stages of development.","PeriodicalId":444081,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Fifth International Software Metrics Symposium.

Interrater agreement is the extent to which assessors agree in their ratings of software process capabilities when presented with the same evidence and performing their ratings independently. This line of research was based on the premise that lack of interrater agreement can lead to erroneous decisions from process assessment scores. However, thus far we do not know the impact of interrater agreement on the cost of assessments. We report on a study that evaluates the relationship between interrater agreement and the cost of the consolidation activity in assessments. The study was conducted in the context of two assessments using the emerging international standard ISO/IEC 15504. Our results indicate that for organizational processes, the relationship is strong and in the expected direction. For project level processes no relationship was found. These results indicate that for assessments that include organizational processes in their scope, ensuring high interrater agreement could lead to a reduction in their costs.","PeriodicalId":444081,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Fifth International Software Metrics Symposium.
