Software engineering continuously introduce new development methods, techniques, and tools, which promise cost savings, reduced development time, better product quality, etc. However, when practitioners need to adopt a specific method, technique, or tool, they would like to have evidence that such method, technique, or tool produce the benefits promised.
Sensible evidence to substantiate claims can be provided via rigorous empirical investigation of methods, techniques, and tools in different contexts, to assess their strengths and weaknesses, and their suitability for specific needs of the practitioners. Such evaluations are complex since several variables need to be taken into account (e.g., background of the people involved, techniques used, working environment, technologies and tools adopted, etc.). Moreover, there are several different types of empirical study (e.g., surveys, case studies, and controlled experiments), each of which provides different degrees of strength and appropriateness to validate different kinds of empirical questions and contexts.
