Conducting controlled experiments and their replication generates data to be stored in a lab package, which contributes to create a body ofknowledge on Software Engineering. Replication of a study depends on the lab package, in particular inter groups replication. The transfer of knowledge stored into lab packages is hampered by the lack of standard to organize information and its understanding. The use of ontology on lab packages instantiation might facilitate transfering of knowledge among Software Engineering research groups. This work presents a computational tool to execute the workflow defined for experimentation (Definition, Planning, Operation, Analysis and Packaging activities). The lab package is instantiated according to E xperOntology (domain ontology for controlled experiments) generating OWL or XML file. The tool allows different access to experimenter and participant roles. The experimenter has access to all activities of the experimental process, particularly to control the operation activity. The experiment participant has restricted access to the tasks associated to himher, as well as the required artifacts. To evaluate the use of the tool was recorded and packaged a controlled experiment.
