Abstract

Explanations of the different types of exercises can be found in the Preface. In summary, the objective is to provide four types of exercises:

  • Understanding. These exercises aim at highlighting the most important issues from each chapter. Exercises are available for Chapters 1–9.

  • Training. The objective of these exercises is to encourage practicing experimentation. This includes setting up hypotheses and performing the statistical analysis.

  • Reviewing. Two chapters include examples of experiments and one chapter provides a survey of some published experiments. The intention of this part is to provide help in reviewing and reading published experiments.

  • Assignments. These exercises are formulated to promote an understanding of how experiments can be used in software engineering to evaluate methods and techniques.
