Good day seniors.
Please I will start my PhD program in Software Engineering this year and I am interested in human factors in software engineering or human aspect of software engineering or empirical software engineering.
How do you think I can use Data Mining Techniques in these fields?
Thanks
Hi Adekunle Ajibode ,
Build a bibliography of relevant literature. This one is available on RG.
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/0164121285900032
This one looks specifically at Human Factors analysis, also available on RG:
Article Human factors analysis in software engineering
This one looks at the wider aspects of Human Factors research and should be available through your library:
https://books.google.co.nz/books/about/Advances_in_Human_Factors_Software_and_S.html?id=p3tYBAAAQBAJ&redir_esc=y
You will need these types of background materials for building your literature review and placing the focus of your research in a broader disciplinary context.
Look into the applications of Data mining to see what others have done in respect of Human Factors in SE..
This is not a recent PhD thesis but may give you an indication of an application of the tools and techniques in Human Factors Research.
See: https://core.ac.uk/download/337576.pdf
Look for gaps/further work needed sections in theses and research project reports for ideas about what possible contributions to knowledge may be needed/possible/applicable to a new area in other more recent PhD theses in your area of interest.
Good Luck.
@Robert Barbour,
Thank you so much sir. I'll read through your suggested papers and create an alert on Google scholar
