342 F. Shull and R.L. Feldmann journals, where each piece of evidence is peer reviewed, to purely electronic sources on the Internet, which may include promotional material of technology vendors or companies.
Last but not least, we have to identify the possible search process we will use to find the evidence. This is in part connected to the list of accepted sources. For instance, evidence in journals can be found by searching specific internet catalogues of such journals (e.g., IEEE Computer Society Digital Library
1
or The ACM Digital Library) or by a classical library search. A search for evidence on the Internet offers even more possibilities Which search engines are going to be used What keywords will be entered How are the results filtered In any case, it is necessary to document the intended (and later applied) search process and routines so it becomes obvious and repeatable for others.
As outcome products of our second process step, we generate a List of Accepted
Forms of Evidence (LAFE), a List of Accepted (i.e., trusted) Sources for the
Evidence (LASE), and a Search Process Definition (SPD). All of these results can consist of separate documents, or can even be included in a single document. They even might be added to the TTDD. However, for our generic process we assume that each document will be handled separately.
We summarize the second process step by using our schema, in Table 2.
