About the journal
Over the last decade, it has become clear that empirical studies are a fundamental component of software engineering research and practice: Software development practices and technologies must be investigated by empirical means in order to be understood, evaluated, and deployed in proper contexts. This stems from the observation that higher software quality and productivity have more chances to be achieved if well-understood, tested practices and technologies are introduced in software development.
Empirical Software Engineering provides a forum for applied software engineering research with a strong empirical component. It is therefore a venue to publish empirical results which are relevant to both researchers and practitioners. Reported empirical studies usually involve the collection and analysis of data and experience that can be used to characterize, evaluate and reveal relationships between software development deliverables, practices, and technologies. Over time, it is expected that such empirical results will form a body of knowledge leading to widely accepted and well-formed theories.
Both original and replicated studies can be reported, varying from controlled experiments to field studies, from data intensive to qualitative. Preference is given to studies that can be replicated or expanded upon. To facilitate such endeavors, the journal also forms a repository for the accessing and dissemination of the data and artifacts used in the studies. Papers on the infrastructure for supporting empirical research are also published.
Topics relevant to the journal include the following, given an appropriate emphasis on the collection and analysis of supporting data: -Evaluation of analysis and design methods, -Evaluation of verification and validation methods, -Evaluation of novel quality assurance and project management practices, -Development, derivation and/or comparison of organizational models of software development, -Development of predictive models of defect rates and reliability from real data, -Comparison of cost estimation techniques, -Infrastructure issues, such as measurement theory, experimental design, qualitative modeling and analysis approaches.
