Chapter 14 Objectives The Wasserman principles and how we have done Technology transfer How researchers provide evidence for technology adoption Decision making in software engineering Next step in research and practice

14.1 How Have We Done? Use complex languages Use patterns and abstractions Apply formal methods Build a vast array of tools

14.1 How Have We Done? Challenges Ahead Provide great accuracy in the large: we can tell when a space vehicle will reach Mars when a chemical reaction will reach a critical stage Do not have accuracy in small: we cannot tell precisely when a software product will fail again exactly how a user will exercise system’s function

14.1 How Have We Done? Wasserman’s Steps to Maturity Abstraction Analysis and design notations User interface prototyping Software architecture Software process Reuse Measurement Tools and integrated environments

14.1 How Have We Done? What Now? Should consider how well we move the new software engineering ideas into practice Must consider how well our research and practice support decision making about processes, resources, and products

14.2 Technology Transfer Producers: create and use new technologies Consumers: adopt and use new technologies in new products and services

14.2 Technology Transfer How We Make Technology Transfer Decision Now In the 1960s and 1970s, it took an average of 7.5 years for new technology to become widely available Because of time-to-market pressure, new technologies must prove themselves quickly

14.2 Technology Transfer Adopter Types Innovators Early adopters Early majority Late majority Laggards

14.2 Technology Transfer Evidence Supporting Technology Decisions Researchers: reproducible validation methods theoretical proof, static analysis, and simulation Practitioners: methods relevant to their environment case studies, field studies, and replicated controlled experiments

14.2 Technology Transfer Types of Evidence and Their Audiences What will you do for your new technology？

14.3 Decision-Making in Software Engineering Two points of view of decision-making Descriptive描述性的: provides evidence about how decisions are actually made Prescriptive说明性的: provides frameworks and methods to help decision-makers

14.3 Decision-Making in Software Engineering Roots of Decision Science

14.3 Decision-Making in Software Engineering Elements that Affect How We Make Decision

14.3 Decision-Making in Software Engineering Issues in Group Decision-Making

14.3 Decision-Making in Software Engineering Types of Decision Strategic decision: affects the well being and nature of the organization Tactical decision: affects pricing, employee assignment, customer interaction, or operations Routine decision: repetitive in nature, local in scope, and guided by organizational rules or policies

14.3 Decision-Making in Software Engineering How We Really Decide Bias Caused by Decision Context 背景偏见 stereotype threat 刻板印象威胁 status quo bias现状偏见 Individuals exhibit a marked preference for case-specific,or singular information个体对特定情况和单一信息由明显偏好 一个因素出现的越久远，回忆者降低其重要性的倾向就越高 Anchoring-and-adjustment锚定和调整 不愿表现的消极

14.3 Decision-Making in Software Engineering Example Used in Assessing Group Effects Condition Error rate Subject is alone 1% With one person who says A 3% With two people who say A 13% With three people who say A 33% With six who say A and one who say B 6%

Improve software engineering education 14.4 The Professionalization of Software Engineering: Licensing, Certification and Ethics Improve software engineering education Licensing or certification to improve process and product
