Replications

• Replication of a Study about the Impact of Method Chaining and Comments on Readability and Comprehension, Sampaio & Sampaio (2024). Outcome recorded: failed. The original study did find a significant difference for comments variants. In the case of comprehension, we found no significant differences between the method chaining variants but found a sig- nificant difference for an α = 0.1% among comments variants, both as opposed to the original study.
