Summary

Dimension Rating
Reliability High
Relevance High
Bias: Missing data Low risk
Bias: Measurement Low risk
Bias: Selective reporting Low risk
Bias: Randomization N/A — not an RCT

Rationale

Dimension Rationale
Reliability SEI/CMU is the DoD's premier software research center; CaTE is an established program
