icsme-experiments
Use when designing or auditing IEEE ICSME empirical evaluations, covering real evolving subject systems, mining-software-repositories provenance, fair baselines, SE-standard statistics and effect sizes, change-history and survivorship confounds, qualitative rigor, contamination-aware LLM ablations, and matching evidence to the shape of each maintenance/evolution claim.

# ICSME Experiments
Use this before submission when the empirical story is not yet locked. ICSME reviewers are
maintenance and evolution empiricists, and because the venue has **no revision round**, the
evaluation must be complete on submission — you cannot promise a missing analysis and add it later.
The organizing principle is **evidence proportional to the claim**, tested on **real systems with
real change history**, not on synthetic snapshots.
## Evaluation audit
- **Match evidence to the claim shape.** A claim about *maintenance effort* needs effort or proxy
data defended as a proxy; a claim about *change impact* needs real change sets; a claim about
*comprehension* needs a human study; a claim about *debt* needs a debt measurement, not lines of
code. Accuracy against a convenient label is not evidence for a maintenance-practice claim.
