| Abstract: | Everyone agrees that reliable empirical “facts” must be derived from a series of investigations. However, the question of
what is an appropriate framework for this series is an unresolved issue. Other articles in this issue present replication
as the basis for this framework (Shull FJ, Carver JC, Vegas S, Juristo N (2008) The role of replications in Empirical Software
Engineering, J Empir Softw Eng (in press)); however, alternatives exist! This brief note argues triangulation should be considered
as the basis for this knowledge discovery (from empirical evaluation) strategy.
