摘要: In empirical software engineering research there is an increased use of questionnaires and surveys to collect information from practitioners. Typically, such data then analyzed based on overall, descriptive statistics. Even though this can capture the general trends a risk that opinions different (minority) sub-groups are lost. Here we propose clustering segment respondents so more detailed analysis be achieved. Our findings suggest it give better insight about survey population participants' opinions. This partitioning approach show precisely extent opinion differences between groups. also gives opportunity for minorities heard. Through process significant new may obtained. our example study regarding state testing requirement activities in industry, found several groups showed overall conclusion.
