From the reviews: The revised edition includes new chapters and examples, which further cements its place as the premier book on the topics of designing, constructing, executing, and assessing experiments in software engineering. (...) The revisions will make this book even more valuable. (...) It ought to be required reading for all PhD students; every academic's bookcase should have a copy. (Michael Oudshoorn, Computing Reviews, October, 2012) This book is a landmark in allowing us to train both the researcher and practitioner in software engineering experimentation. (Victor R. Basili, University of Maryland, MD, USA) The additions and modifications in this revised version very nicely reflect the maturation of the field of empirical software engineering. (Anneliese A. Andrews, University of Denver , CO, USA) The volume, a revised edition of a work by the same name ... published in 2000, presents a very useful review of methods in software engineering research. It is structured as a textbook, making it useful for an introductory graduate-level course or a fourth-year course at the undergraduate level. Practitioners and experts will also benefit from this book, as they can use it as a starting point for more in-depth approaches. ... Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals/practitioners. (L. Benedicenti, Choice, Vol. 50 (9), May, 2013)
