Research > Lines of Investigation > Research methods 

This research lines refers to the study and application of research methods for the validation of software technologies (metrics, quality models, methods, processes, Tools, etc.).

We mainly focus on: experiments, surveys, case studies, action research and systematic literature reviews.
