A Critique of Software Defect Prediction Models
- IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON SOFTWARE ENGINEERING
, 1999
"... Many organizations want to predict the number of defects (faults) in software systems, before they are deployed, to gauge the likely delivered quality and maintenance effort. To help in this numerous software metrics and statistical models have been developed, with a correspondingly large literatur ..."

literature. We provide a critical review of this literature and the state-of-the-art. Most of the wide range of prediction models use size and complexity metrics to predict defects. Others are based on testing data, the “quality ” of the development process, or take a multivariate approach. The authors
Collaborative Exchange of Systematic Literature Review Results: The Case of Empirical Software Engineering
"... ABSTRACT Complementary to managing bibliographic information as done by digital libraries, the management of concrete research objects (e.g., experimental workflows, design patterns) is a pre-requisite to foster collaboration and re-use of research results. In this paper we describe the case of the ..."

of the Empirical Software Engineering domain, where researchers use systematic literature reviews (SLRs) to conduct and report on literature studies. Given their structured nature, the outputs of such SLR processes are a special and complex type of research object. Since performing SLRs is a time consuming process
Empirical Studies on Collaboration in Software Development: A Systematic Literature Review
"... Collaboration in software development is a complex issue that has been examined by various researchers over the last decade. This paper presents a systematic literature review of pertinent literature on empirical studies on collaborative software development. We found that a lot of progress has been ..."

Variability in Software Systems – A Systematic Literature Review
- IEEE TSE
, 2014
"... Abstract—Context: Variability (i.e., the ability of software systems or artifacts to be adjusted for different contexts) became a key property of many systems. Objective: We analyze existing research on variability in software systems. We investigate variability handling in major software engineerin ..."

engineering phases (e.g., requirements engineering, architecting). Method: We performed a systematic literature review. A manual search covered 13 premium software engineering journals and 18 premium conferences, resulting in 15,430 papers searched and 196 papers considered for analysis. To improve
Strength of Evidence in Systematic Reviews in Software Engineering
- In ESEM Proceedings of the Second ACM-IEEE international
, 2008
"... Systematic reviews are only as good as the evidence they are based on. It is important, therefore, that users of systematic reviews know how much confidence they can place in the conclusions and recommendations arising from such reviews. In this paper we present an overview of some of the most influ ..."

influential systems for assessing the quality of individual primary studies and for grading the overall strength of a body of evidence. We also present an example of the use of such systems based on a systematic review of empirical studies of agile software development. Our findings suggest that the systems
1 Empirical Evidence in Global Software Engineering: A Systematic Review
"... Abstract: Recognized as one of the trends of the 21st century, globalization of the world economies brought significant changes to nearly all industries, and in particular it includes software development. Many companies started global software engineering (GSE) to benefit from cheaper, faster and b ..."

and better development of software systems, products and services. However, empirical studies indicate that achieving these benefits is not an easy task. Here, we report our findings from investigating empirical evidence in GSE-related research literature. By conducting a systematic review we observe
Systematic Literature Reviews and Undergraduate Research
"... A recent addition to our capstone project options in the Bachelor of Computer and Information Sciences has been the opportunity for students to undertake reviews of the research literature, as opposed to the more traditional projects involving developing a software artefact of some form. This offers ..."

. This offers an alternative for those students taking less software intensive majors or who have more of an interest in research. These projects involve conducting a full systematic review on a topic of interest. Systematic Literature reviews are a common research approach within the software engineering
Writing for Synthesis of Evidence in Empirical Software Engineering
"... Context: Systematic literature reviews have become common in software engineering in the last decade, but challenges remain. Goal: Given the challenges, the objective is to describe improvement areas in writing primary studies, and hence provide a good basis for researchers aiming at synthesizing re ..."

Views on Internal and External Validity in Empirical Software Engineering
"... Abstract—Empirical methods have grown common in software engineering, but there is no consensus on how to apply them properly. Is practical relevance key? Do internally valid studies have any value? Should we replicate more to address the tradeoff between internal and external validity? We asked the ..."

www.elsevier.com/locate/jss Lessons from applying the systematic literature review process within the software engineering domain
, 2006
"... A consequence of the growing number of empirical studies in software engineering is the need to adopt systematic approaches to assessing and aggregating research outcomes in order to provide a balanced and objective summary of research evidence for a particular topic. The paper reports experiences w ..."
