5.4 Threats to External Validity

These threats concern with issues that may limit our ability to generalize the results of the experiment to other contexts, for example generalize it to industry practice. The use of students as subjects instead of practitioners might have exposed this validity. However, as pointed in [8] the use of students as subjects enable us to obtain preliminary evidence to confirm or refute hypotheses that can be tested later in industrial settings.
