- The role of
replications

211-218.Abstra
ct Replicatio
ns play a key
role in
Empirical
Software
Engineering by
allowing the
community to
build
knowledge
about which
results or
observations
hold under
which
conditions.
Therefore, not
only can a
replication
that produces
similar
results as the
original
experiment be
viewed as
successful,
but a
replication
that produce
results
different from
those of the
original
experiment can
also be viewed
as successful.
In this paper
we identify
two types of
replications:
exact
replications,
in which the
procedures of
an experiment
are followed
as closely as
possible; and
conceptual
replications,
in which the
same research
question is
evaluated by
using a
different
experimental
procedure. The
focus of this
paper is on
exact
replications.
We further
explore them
to identify
two
sub-categories
: dependent
replications,
where
researchers
attempt to
keep all the
conditions of
the experiment
the same or
very similar
and
independent
replications,
where
researchers
deliberately
vary one or
more major
aspects of the
conditions of
the
experiment. We
then discuss
the role
played by each
type of
replication in
terms of its
goals,
benefits, and
limitations.
Finally, we
highlight the
importance of
producing
adequate
documentation
for an
experiment
(original or
replication)
to allow for
replication. A
properly
documented
replication
provides the
details
necessary to
gain a
sufficient
understanding
of the study
being
replicated
without
requiring the
replicator to
slavishly
follow the
given
procedures.

for real: Some

Sardinia: (2001)Fourth
year students
run their own
software house
which involves
them in
carrying out
real projects
for real
business
clients. This
year we have
introduced
them to
extreme
programming
and we examine
the initial
impact that
this has had
on their
business. The
philosophy has
been adopted
with much
enthusiasm and
seems to have
delivered in a
variety of
contexts,
including
maintenance
and new
projects. Some
plans for a
more rigorous
experiment
looking at the
possible
benefits of XP

with Real

pp.
323-324.The
University of
Sheffield
provides
undergraduate
students with
a real
experience of
software
engineering
through a
module
entitled the
Software Hut.
Here, 2 nd
year students
work in teams
competing to
build a real
business
solution for a
real
commercial
client. In
this exercise,
eXtreme
Programming is
used. This
article
provides a few
details of
this
innovative
educational
programme.

XP:

Programming
and Agile
Processes in
Software
Engineering
(2005), pp.
222-225.Extrem
e programming
(XP) has been
introduced in
various
scenarios
primarily
because some
in industry
argued for a
move away from
what they feel
are rigid
documentation-
based
development
techniques.
This has
usually taken
place with
experienced
developers.
This paper
describes
attempts by
researchers
from the
University of
Sheffield to
introduce XP
to relatively
inexperienced
student
developers.
This paper
describes some
of the
important
findings and
provides
evidence
relating to
common
problems
encountered
when students
attempt to
adjust to XP.
