The book "Experimentation in Software Engineering: An Introduction" by Claes Wohlin, Per Runeson, Martin Höst, Magnus C. Ohlsson, Björn Regnell, and Anders Wesslén, published by Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, aims to introduce and promote the use of empirical studies, particularly experiments, in software engineering. The authors emphasize the importance of evaluating software engineering methods, techniques, and tools through empirical research, which is often lacking in the field. The book is structured into thirteen chapters, covering various aspects of experimentation, from the general introduction to specific steps in the experimental process, including planning, operation, analysis, and interpretation. It also includes examples of empirical studies and exercises to help readers understand and apply the concepts. The target audience includes students, teachers, researchers, and practitioners, each of whom can use the book for different purposes, such as learning, teaching, conducting research, or evaluating new methods. The book is part of the Kluwer International Series in Software Engineering, which focuses on presenting important research topics and their applications in software engineering.The book "Experimentation in Software Engineering: An Introduction" by Claes Wohlin, Per Runeson, Martin Höst, Magnus C.
