    Guidelines for Using Empirical Studies in Software Engineering Education
    (Software Engineering und Software Management 2018, 2018) Fagerholm, Fabian; Kuhrmann, Marco; Münch, Jürgen
    Software engineering education is under constant pressure to provide students with industry-relevant knowledge and skills. Educators must address issues beyond exercises and theories that can be directly rehearsed in small settings. Industry training has similar requirements of relevance as companies seek to keep their workforce up to date with technological advances. Real-life software development often deals with large, software-intensive systems and is influenced by the complex effects of teamwork and distributed software development, which are hard to demonstrate in an educational environment. A way to experience such effects and to increase the relevance of software engineering education is to apply empirical studies in teaching. In this paper, we show how different types of empirical studies can be used for educational purposes in software engineering. We give examples illustrating how to utilize empirical studies, discuss challenges, and derive an initial guideline that supports teachers to include empirical studies in software engineering courses. Furthermore, we give examples that show how empirical studies contribute to high-quality learning outcomes, to student motivation, and to the awareness of the advantages of applying software engineering principles. Having awareness, experience, and understanding of the actions required, students are more likely to apply such principles under real-life constraints in their working life.

    Reproducing Taint-Analysis Results with ReproDroid
    (Software Engineering 2020, 2020) Pauck, Felix; Bodden, Eric; Wehrheim, Heike
    More and more Android taint-analysis tools appear each year. Any paper proposing such a tool typically comes with an in-depth evaluation of its supported features, accuracy and ability to be applied on real-world apps. Although the authors spent a lot of effort to come up with these evaluations, comparability is often hindered since the description of their experimental targets is usually limited. To conduct a comparable, automatic and unbiased evaluation of different analysis tools, we propose the framework ReproDroid. The framework enables us to precisely declare our evaluation targets, in consequence we refine three well-known benchmarks: DroidBench, ICCBench and DIALDroidBench. Furthermore, we instantiate this framework for six prominent taint-analysis tools, namely Amandroid, DIALDroid, DidFail, DroidSafe, FlowDroid and IccTA. Finally, we use these instances to automatically check whether different promises commonly made in the associated proposing papers are kept.

    Xperisight: Parallelizing Extended Reality Studies Without Losing Control
    (Proceedings of Mensch und Computer 2024, 2024) Schenkluhn, Marius; Schulz, Thimo; Weinhardt, Christof
    We present Xperisight, an open-source tool for Extended Reality (XR) experiment supervision. Conducting experiments with XR devices already poses many technological and organizational challenges. However, scaling an experiment to larger numbers of participants is an even more complex endeavor. Thus, Xperisight provides remote access to Unity-based XR applications to oversee multiple sessions in parallel via one unified dashboard. Without influencing subjects by their presence, experimenters can access relevant information, remotely control the devices, and be called for help if questions or errors arise. The tool can be easily integrated with zero-code setup and minimal configuration and has already been successfully applied in a first experiment effectively halving the overall required experiment time.1
