Abstract
Replications and replicable research are currently gaining traction in the software engineering research community. Our research group made an effort in the recent years to make our own research accessible for other researchers, through the provision of replication kits that allow rerunning our experiments. Within this chapter, we present our experiences with replication kits. We first had to learn which contents are required, how to structure them, how to document them, and also how to best share ...
