Research Methodology
The research within LUCAS is conducted with the aim to develop engineering solutions to industry relevant problems. Controlled experiments are conducted to evaluate methods in-the-small. Surveys are launched to get a broad overview of current practice in software engineering. Pilot systems are built to evaluate technologies and research solutions. Case studies are conducted to evaluate how the research results apply to industrial use. LUCAS researchers also develop the research methodology forwards. The first book on experimentation specifically in software engineering was published by members of LUCAS in the year 2000. Inclusion of quantitative research methodology into the rather technical research field is underway.
