“…More strictly, a case study is purely observational while action research is focused on and involved in the change process. In software process improvement (Dittrich et al 2008;Iversen et al 2004) and technology transfer studies (Gorschek et al 2006), the research method should be characterized as action research. However, when studying the effects of a change, e.g.…”

Case study is a suitable research methodology for software engineering research since it studies contemporary phenomena in its natural context. However, the understanding of what constitutes a case study varies, and hence the quality of the resulting studies. This paper aims at providing an introduction to case study methodology and guidelines for researchers conducting case studies and readers studying reports of such studies. The content is based on the authors' own experience from conducting and reading case studies. The terminology and guidelines are compiled from different methodology handbooks in other research domains, in particular social science and information systems, and adapted to the needs in software engineering. We present recommended practices for software engineering case studies as well as empirically derived and evaluated checklists for researchers and readers of case study research.

“…We followed the Cooperative Method Development approach, a "domain specific adaptation of action research" that moves from an ethnographically-inspired understanding of the "existing practice of software development in concrete industrial settings" and aims at improving such practice by cooperating with practitioners [6].…”

Abstract. We present an empirical study on facilitating the adoption of usercentred design (UCD) in small Agile companies. To this end, we introduced a curated set of qualitative design practices in an Agile organisation, engaging developers in a lightweight series of workshops. Our results suggest that the approach followed enhanced internal communication and promoted a concrete shift towards a more user-centred perspective. However, the presence of a predominant non-Agile customer seems to have limited potential benefits.

“…According to Dittrich et al (2008), CMD has been applied in different research projects outlining different aspects within software engineering (e.g. design of flexible and adaptable software; agile development for e-government applications; and the integration of interaction design and software development).…”

Background:The Academia-Industry partnership has been increasingly encouraged in the software development field. The main focus of the initiatives is driven by the collaborative work where the scientific research work meets the real needs of the Industry. Methods: Aiming to contribute to this effort we have proposed an approach called SoftCoDeR (Software Cooperative Design Research) that combines CMD (Cooperative Method Development), a method of Action Research, to concepts of DSR (Design Science Research). Results: We have applied the SoftCoDeR approach in a software development company to support a research and development project aiming to integrate User Experience practices into the agile software development process. Conclusions: In this paper, we present new findings about this approach that has been extended with the use of Experimental Software Engineering (ESE) practices to conduct experimental validations of artifacts before putting them in industrial practice.
