Evaluation of the SPES XT modeling framework

Abstract

In software engineering, empirical evaluations play a major role in discovering the advantages and disadvantages of newly developed methods, techniques, and tools. In addition, empirical studies are used to validate- the initial rationale behind the development of new approaches. Furthermore, empirical evidence, originating from different kinds of systematically conducted studies, is crucial to support the transfer and application of new methods in industrial settings. This chapter gives an overview of the evaluation actions in the context of the SPES XT modeling framework.
