Abstract
This work presents an empirical study on the relationship between the testers’ profile and their efficiency and preference in the application of tours with tourist metaphor for exploratory software testing. For this purpose, we developed and applied a questionnaire based model to gather as much as possible information about the knowledge, expertise and education level from a group of testers. The results indicated that, in fact, the testers’ profile have impact on the application of tours used in the tourist metaphor: there are differences between the tours preferred by different levels of education and most of testers tend to choose those tours based on what they believed to have the shortest execution time. This work raises a valuable discussion about a humanized process of assigning test tasks in order to improve the efficiency of software testing.

Abstract
Conducting systematic studies during a postgraduate program, such as systematic review, systematic mapping, and tertiary review, can benefit the project’s success. They provide an overview of the literature considering currently available research findings, establish baselines for other research activities, and support decisions made throughout the research project. However, there is a shortage of research that presents systematic studies experiences in supporting academic projects. This paper’s main contribution is reporting our experience on how the evidence found in tertiary and secondary studies positively influenced a PhD project’s decisions. Initially, a tertiary study was conducted, followed by a systematic mapping. The evidence returned by the tertiary study led to the definition of the PhD research proposal in the Requirement Engineering field. Moreover, a systematic mapping contributed to the definition of the PhD research problem. From this experience in undertaking systematic studies to support a PhD project, the paper also presents lessons learned and recommendations to guide PhD students’ decisions.
