Table 9 Hypotheses for the reuse study

From: Model-based reuse for crosscutting frameworks: assessing reuse and maintenance effort

H0 r

There is no difference between using our tool and using an ad-hoc reuse process in terms of productivity (time) to successfully couple a CF with an application.

Then, the techniques are equivalent.

Tc r - Tm r 0

Hp r

There is a positive difference between using our tool and using an ad-hoc reuse process in terms of productivity (time) to successfully couple a CF with an application.

Then, the conventional technique takes more time than the model-based tool.

Tc r - Tm r > 0

Hn r

There is a negative difference between using our tool and using an ad-hoc reuse process in terms of productivity (time) to successfully couple a CF with an application.

Then, the conventional technique takes less time than the model-based tool.

Tc r - Tm r < 0

  1. Considering the Reuse Study, there are three hypotheses for the outcome. In the first one, both are equivalent, while in two of them, a technique is faster.
