What's the General Plan for the Empirical Analysis of Algorithm Time Efficiency?

Please put the following steps in order:

$1$ Prepare a program implementing the algorithm $($or algorithms$)$ for the experimentation.

$2$ #$.$ Decide on characteristics of the input sample $($its range, size, and so on$).$

$3$ i: Decide on the efficiency metric $M$ to be measured and the measurement unit $($an operation count vs$.$ a time unit$).$

$4$ Run the algorithm $($or algorithms$)$ on the sample's inputs and record the data observed.

Analyze the data obtained.

$6$

: Generate a sample of inputs.

$7$ Understand the experiment's purpose.
