Abstract
This book addresses experimentation in Software Engineering (SE). The book is aimed at raising readers’ interest in experimentation that has been lacking in the SE field. Borrowing the experimental tradition from other science and engineering areas could serve the discipline well.

Notes
This is taken from a letter (cited in Price’s book “Science since Babylon”, published by Yale University Press in 1962) sent by Einstein to Switzer, which read as follows: “The development of Western science is based on two great accomplishments: the invention of the formal system of logic by the Greek philosophers and the discovery that causal relationships can be discovered by means of systematic experiments”.
