Abstract
Computer scientists and practitioners defend their lack of
experimentation with a wide range of arguments. Some arguments suggest
that experimentation is inappropriate, too difficult, useless, and even
harmful. This article discusses several such arguments to illustrate the
importance of experimentation for computer science. It considers how the
software industry is beginning to value experiments, because results may
give a company a three- to five-year lead over the competition
