有效性标准与行为软件工程研究中标准的有效性--心理测试理论的视角

Standards of Validity and the Validity of Standards in Behavioral Software Engineering Research: The Perspective of Psychological Test Theory

Lucas Gren

摘要:

背景软件工程研究中有一些出版物旨在指导研究人员评估其研究的有效性威胁。尽管如此,许多研究人员未能解决许多方面的有效性是必不可少的定量研究人为因素。目标.本文的目标是引发思维方式的转变,在什么类型的研究是最有价值的行为软件工程领域,也提供了更多的细节,什么是结构效度。法该方法是基于心理测试理论,并借鉴了心理学中使用的方法与结构效度。结果在本文中,我提出了一种不同的方法来有效性威胁比什么是常见的行为软件工程研究。结论.虽然本文的重点是行为软件工程,我相信其他类型的软件工程研究也可能受益于越来越多的关注结构效度。

英文摘要:

Background. There are some publications in software engineering research that aim at guiding researchers in assessing validity threats to their studies. Still, many researchers fail to address many aspects of validity that are essential to quantitative research on human factors. Goal. This paper has the goal of triggering a change of mindset in what types of studies are the most valuable to the behavioral software engineering field, and also provide more details of what construct validity is. Method. The approach is based on psychological test theory and draws upon methods used in psychology in relation to construct validity. Results. In this paper, I suggest a different approach to validity threats than what is commonplace in behavioral software engineering research. Conclusions. While this paper focuses on behavioral software engineering, I believe other types of software engineering research might also benefit from an increased focus on construct validity.
