A Software Engineering Experiments to value MDE in testing. Learning Lessons

Description

Controlled experiments are commonly used to evaluate Software Engineering methods, processes and tools. Validating results of Software Engineering re search in industrial settings is a direct way to obtain feedback about its value. However, few software engineering experiments are running in industry. The lack of communication between companies and research teams does not make the necessary cooperation among them possible. This paper presents our experi ences when running an experiment dealing with Early Testing at the University of Seville. It also introduces the strategy we followed to obtain the participation of 97 practitioners from 32 different software companies. Such strategy is pointed out as a set of guidelines to successfully involve this large number of companies and practitioners.
