                <p>
                    A variety of research methods and techniques are available to SE researchers, and while several overviews exist, there is consistency neither in the research methods covered nor in the terminology used. Furthermore, research is
                    sometimes
                    critically reviewed for characteristics inherent to the methods. We adopt a taxonomy from the social sciences, termed here the ABC framework for SE research, which offers a holistic view of eight archetypal research strategies.
                    ABC refers
                    to the research goal that strives for generalizability over Actors (A) and precise measurement of their Behavior (B), in a realistic Context (C). The ABC framework uses two dimensions widely considered to be key in research
                    design: the
                    level of obtrusiveness of the research and the generalizability of research findings. We discuss metaphors for each strategy and their inherent limita- tions and potential strengths. We illustrate these research strategies in two
                    key SE
                    domains, global software engineering and requirements engineering, and apply the framework on a sample of 75 articles. Finally, we discuss six ways in which the framework can advance SE research.
