Integrating research evidence into practice is one of the main goals of Evidence-Based Software Engineering (EBSE). Secondary studies, one of the main EBSE products, are intended to summarize the best research evidence and make them easily consumable by practitioners. However, recent studies show that some secondary studies lack connections with software engineering practice. In this chapter, we present the concept of Rapid Reviews, which are lightweight secondary studies focused on delivering evidence to practitioners in a timely manner. Rapid reviews support practitioners in their decision-making, and should be conducted bounded to a practical problem, inserted into a practical context. Thus, Rapid Reviews can be easily integrated in a knowledge/technology transfer initiative. After describing the basic concepts, we present the results and experiences of conducting two Rapid Reviews. We also provide guidelines to help researchers and practitioners who want to conduct Rapid Reviews, and we finally discuss topics that my concern the research community about the feasibility of Rapid Reviews as an Evidence-Based method. In conclusion, we believe Rapid Reviews might interest researchers and practitioners working in the intersection between software engineering research and practice.

软件工程快速评审

将研究证据整合到实践中是循证软件工程 (EBSE) 的主要目标之一。二级研究是 EBSE 的主要产品之一，旨在总结最佳研究证据，并使从业者易于使用。然而，最近的研究表明，一些二次研究缺乏与软件工程实践的联系。在本章中，我们介绍了快速审查的概念，这是一种轻量级的二级研究，专注于及时向从业者提供证据。快速审查支持从业者的决策，并且应该针对实际问题进行，插入到实际环境中。因此，快速审查可以轻松地集成到知识/技术转让计划中。介绍完基本概念后，我们介绍了进行两次快速审查的结果和经验。我们还提供指导方针来帮助想要进行快速审查的研究人员和从业者，我们最后讨论了我关注的研究界关于快速审查作为一种基于证据的方法的可行性的主题。总之，我们相信 Rapid Reviews 可能会让从事软件工程研究和实践交叉工作的研究人员和从业者感兴趣。
