Desarrollo de nuevas funcionalidades para un sistema de soporte para la experimentación con patrones de privacidad.

Abstract

This work presents the development of new functionalities in a system for experimenting with privacy patterns. The new functionalities provide support to researchers for carrying out experimental studies. The new system provides more control, efficiency, order and easiness in the experimentation process. Chapter 1 presents the project’s objectives, its scope and the theoretical background. The theoretical background includes concepts related to privacy, experimentation in Software Engineering and about the Extreme Programming methodology. In addition, this chapter includes tools used for the development of the system and other tools for experimentation with patterns. Chapter 2 presents the analysis, design and implementation of the system. This chapter describes the requirements’ analysis, the iteration planning and the design of the new elements. At the end of this section, the implementation of the system according to the requirements is shown. Chapter 3 presents the results substantiating the functionality of the system; it is made through two experiments: one using a single group of participants and the other using two groups of participants. Finally, Chapter 4 presents the conclusions and recommendations of this work.
