Abstract
Experiments with human subjects become more and more important in software engineering. To support planning, conducting, and replicating experiments targeting program comprehension, we developed PROPHET. It allows experimenters to easily define and customize experimental settings as well as to export settings such that others can replicate their results. Furthermore, PROPHET provides extension points, which allow users to integrate additional functionality.Keywords
