Abstract
All research requires validation, and where analytic solutions are not possible or not practical, empirical validation is necessary. Software engineering (SE) research covers a vast array of problems over which the level of maturity in the knowledge varies markedly. Without some consensus, an SE researcher is faced with a difficult task of convincing their peers that their selected methodology is appropriate, let alone the details of their validation. This paper strives to address such issues in order to determine where a consensus does and does not exist.
