A participant's report is an experience report

Claim: a case written by those who took part names its genre, an experience report with repository measures, and the baseline it meets.

What it asks

  • The Genre and baseline section says that the report is an experience report, and that it has a part drawn from repositories.
  • It names the checklist it meets, the reader's checklist of Runeson 2009.
  • A later case may take both from an earlier one by a link.

Why

  • The community standard for case studies excludes reports by participants; calling one a case study claims a method it did not use.
  • The genre sets what a reader may ask of it: a take-home message, both outcomes, the authors' roles.

Limits

  • The field's name for the genre differs from this repository's. The repository keeps its name; the frame says how.
  • No test shows that naming the genre makes a report more trusted.
