“…The top 6 tools were considered as low cost and cost-effective, in general, see Table 4. Wagenaar et al [50] reported Scrum teams to prefer perceived usefulness over perceived ease of use after using a tool. Our findings from the surveys seem to support that observation as the rankings for e.g., Applicability (#6) or Cost-Effectiveness (#4) are higher than for Easy to Use (#9).…”

In software engineering practice, evaluating and selecting the software testing tools that best fit the project at hand is an important and challenging task. In scientific studies of software engineering, practitioner evaluations and beliefs have recently gained interest, and some studies suggest that practitioners find beliefs of peers more credible than empirical evidence. To study how software practitioners evaluate testing tools, we applied online opinion surveys (n=89). We analyzed the reliability of the opinions utilizing Krippendorff's alpha, intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC), and coefficients of variation (CV). Negative binomial regression was used to evaluate the effect of demographics. We find that opinions towards a specific tool can be conflicting. We show how increasing the number of respondents improves the reliability of the estimates measured with ICC. Our results indicate that on average, opinions from seven experts provide a moderate level of reliability. From demographics, we find that technical seniority leads to more negative evaluations. To improve the understanding, robustness, and impact of the findings, we need to conduct further studies by utilizing diverse sources and complementary methods.

“…We adopt two constructs from Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) which are Perceived Usefulness and Perceived Ease of Use [10]. TAM usually is used to test the behavioural acceptance or intention of using information technology such an application framework [26], software process engineering tools [33], and a newly designed method in software engineering [16]. Perceived usefulness is defined as "the degree to which a person believes that using a particular system would enhance his or her job performance."…”

Distributing software processes by software producing organizations (SPOs) is emerging increasingly due to benefits that global software engineering (GSE) brings in terms of cost reduction, leveraging competencies, and market expansion. However, these organizations are facing communication and project control issues that can slow down the overall organization performance. Therefore, SPOs should be able to manage inter-dependencies among the tasks distributed to the globally dispersed teams. We analyze existing works and product software companies' best practices in coordinating tasks in GSE. This paper specifically focuses on constructing methodological support for task coordination that can be influenced by the situational factors at the companies. The support comprises a framework and a method developed by using a method engineering approach. We introduce the framework that depicts the aspects that should be examined by companies and the method that elaborates the practices to guide companies to coordinate tasks in GSE projects. The validation results show that the framework and the method are accepted by experts regarding completeness and applicability to help SPOs in managing coordination among globally distributed teams.
