Qualitative methods in empirical studies of software engineering

IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering, 1999
While empirical studies in software engineering are beginning to gain recognition in the research community, this subarea is also entering a new level of maturity by beginning to address the human aspects of software development. This added focus has added a new layer of complexity to an already challenging area of research.

Experience on Applying Quantitative and Qualitative Empiricism to Software Engineering [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The workshop addresses practitioners and/or researchers who are interested in empirical software engineering, software process improvement, and quality management.Practitioners are being addressed specifically, since this workshop is also intended to find out what kind of information practitioners need, which kind of support they expect from research ...

Qualitative Software Dynamics

International Conference on Computational Intelligence for Modelling, Control and Automation and International Conference on Intelligent Agents, Web Technologies and Internet Commerce (CIMCA-IAWTIC'06), 2006
In this paper we present a qualitative graph-based formalism for the analysis and the envisioning of software based system dynamics. We first present the main difficulties of dynamic software analysis. Follow some results of a qualitative abstraction tool and some application examples.

A qualitative analysis of software security patterns

Computers & Security, 2006
Software security, which has attracted the interest of the industrial and research community during the last years, aims at preventing security problems by building software without the so-called security holes. One way to achieve this goal is to apply specific patterns in software architecture.

Qualitative simulation of models of software evolution

Software Process: Improvement and Practice, 2002
AbstractLehman's laws and the quantitative models based on them seek to encapsulate empirical generalizations about E‐type program evolution. Such modelling is hampered by insufficient knowledge about the mechanisms at work and their parameters. Qualitative reasoning is a body of work that handles a lack of precise knowledge by reasoning at a more ...
