Empirical Software Engineering
2019Software engineering as a discipline exists since the 1960s, when participants of the NATO Software Engineering Conference in 1968 at Garmisch, Germany, recognised that there was a “software crisis” due to the increased complexity of the systems and of the software running (on) these systems. The software crisis led to the acknowledgement that software

Empirical research in the software engineering classroom
17th Conference on Software Engineering Education and Training, 2004. Proceedings., 2004We describe how empirical research performed in the context of a software engineering project course can provide results useful to both students in later offerings of the course and to industry. The secondary purpose is to encourage the formation of an effort to share ideas on classroom-based research, to perform research collaboratively, and to share ...

The role of replications in Empirical Software Engineering
Empirical Software Engineering, 2008Replications play a key role in Empirical Software Engineering by allowing the community to build knowledge about which results or observations hold under which conditions. Therefore, not only can a replication that produces similar results as the original experiment be viewed as successful, but a replication that produce results different from those ...

Empirical Research Methods in Software Engineering
2003Software engineering is not only about technical solutions. It is to a large extent also concerned with organizational issues, project management and human behaviour. For a discipline like software engineering, empirical methods are crucial, since they allow for incorporating human behaviour into the research approach taken.

Ecological inference in empirical software engineering
2011 26th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Automated Software Engineering (ASE 2011), 2011Software systems are decomposed hierarchically, for example, into modules, packages and files. This hierarchical decomposition has a profound influence on evolvability, maintainability and work assignment. Hierarchical decomposition is thus clearly of central concern for empirical software engineering researchers; but it also poses a quandary.

Empirical Methods in Software Engineering Research
29th International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE'07 Companion), 2007Over the past decade, empirical methods have gained acceptance for validating tools and methods in software research. This tutorial aims at acquainting participants with the main methods used in empirical work in software research, enabling them to evaluate empirical results for validity as well as providing the basis for carrying out empirical studies.

Status of Empirical Research in Software Engineering
2007We provide an assessment of the status of empirical software research by analyzing all refereed articles that appeared in the Journal of Empirical Software Engineering from its first issue in January 1996 through June 2006. The journal publishes empirical software research exclusively and it is the only journal to do so. The main findings are: 1.

Empirical research methods for software engineering
Proceedings of the twenty-second IEEE/ACM international conference on Automated software engineering, 2007This full day tutorial introduces the use of empirical methods appropriate to research in automated software engineering. Using a blend of lecture and discussion, it aims to provide ASE researchers and practitioners with a foundation for conducting and critiquing empirical studies.

Albert Einstein and empirical software engineering
Computer, 1999The author believes that scientists apply scientific investigative techniques to gain more understanding of what makes software "good" and how to make software well. Often, they adapt investigative techniques from other disciplines to define measures that make sense in the business, technical, and social contexts people use for decision making. However,

Belief & evidence in empirical software engineering
Proceedings of the 38th International Conference on Software Engineering, 2016Empirical software engineering has produced a steady stream of evidence-based results concerning the factors that affect important outcomes such as cost, quality, and interval. However, programmers often also have strongly-held a priori opinions about these issues.
