Recruitment, engagement and feedback in empirical software engineering studies in industrial contexts

Context: Research carried out in industrial contexts are recognized as important to the advancement of software engineering knowledge and practice. However, several challenges present themselves in the three key phases of research carried out in industrial contexts, recruitment, engagement and feedb...
