Abstract

The topic of this full-day tutorial was the correct useand interpretation of case studies as an empiricalresearch method. Using an equal blend of lecture anddiscussion, it gave attendees a foundation for conducting,reviewing, and reading case studies. There were lessonsfor software engineers as researchers who conduct andreport case studies, reviewers who evaluate papers, andpractitioners who are attempting to apply results frompapers. The main resource for the course was the bookCase Study Research: Design and Methods by Robert K.Yin. This text was supplemented with positive andnegative examples from the literature.
