For Computer Scientists interested in running behavioral experiments with human participants, I would recommend a book of that title by:
Running Behavioral Experiments With Human Participants: A Practical Guide, by Frank E. Ritter, Jong W. Kim, Jonathan H. Morgan, and Richard A. Carlson, provides a concrete, practical roadmap for the implementation of experiments and controlled observation using human participants. Ideal for those with little or no practical experience in research methodology, the text covers both conceptual and practical issues that are critical to implementing an experiment. The book is organized to follow a standard process in experiment-based research, covering such issues as potential ethical problems, risks to validity, experimental setup, running a study, and concluding a study.
One of my personal favorites: http://www.springer.com/us/book/9783642290435. Note that it is emphasizing software engineering and its strong point is quantitative methods, in particular, experimentation.
Concerning performance experiments, the following article is a good example:
Georges, A, Buytaert, D & Eeckhout, L 2007, ‘Statistically rigorous java performance evaluation’, ACM SIGPLAN Notices, vol. 42, no. 10, p. 57.
Computer Science is a vast subject. If you can narrow down your research topic, t would be easier to suggest you a good book. Some research are qualitative, while others are quantitative. Also there the hundreds of research areas.
