KitchenhamEtAl.CorrelationsAmongParticipants.Ricca14TOSEM data

Description

Data illustrate correlations between results from individual participants in a family of three of four cross-over experiments conducted by Ricca et al: [1] F. Ricca, G. Scanniello, M. Torchiano, G. Reggio, and E. Astesiano, 'Assessing the effect of screen mockups on the comprehension of functional requirements,' ACM Transactions on Software Engineering and Methodology, vol. 24, no. 1, pp. 1:1–1:38, Oct. 2014. The goal of the study was to assess whether stakeholders benefit from the presence of screen mock-ups in the comprehension of functional requirements represented with use cases.

Usage

KitchenhamEtAl.CorrelationsAmongParticipants.Ricca14TOSEM

Format

A data frame with 176 rows and 10 variables:

ExperimentID

<fct>|ExperimentID: A unique identifier for each of the three experiments in the data set.

ParticipantID

<fct>|Participant ID: An identifier for each participant, unique for a specific experiment.

SequenceGroup

<fct>|Experimental Sequence Group: A , B , C, D

System

<fct>|Software systems used in the experiment: AMICO, a system for management of condominiums. EasyCoin, a system for cataloguing collections of coins.

Period

<fct>|Time period of the cross-over experiment: 1 or 2

Treatment

<fct>|Experimental Treatment: Screen mockup available (S) vs Text only (T)

Time

<dbl>|Dependent variable: The time [min] taken to perform the software engineering task.

Comprehension

<dbl>|Dependent variable: The comprehension level the software engineers.

Efficiency

<dbl>|Dependent variable: The ratio of comprehension to time.

CrossOverID

<fct>|CrossOver category: For 4 group crossover designs, the crossover category specifies the matching pairs of sequence groups, CO1 and CO2. For a 2 group crossover, the category is set to CO1 only.
