Empirical Research in Software Engineering Pdf Book Description:

Empirical research has become a vital part of software engineering nevertheless applications professionals and researchers frequently lack an comprehension of the way the empirical practices and procedures have been implemented in the area. Written by a leading researcher in empirical software engineering, the publication describes the essential actions to perform empirical and replicated study. It explains how to design and plan experiments, conduct systematic reviews and case studies, and examine the outcomes created by the empirical research.

The book balances empirical study theories with exercises, illustrations, and real life case studies, which makes it appropriate for a class on empirical software engineering. The writer discusses the process of creating predictive models, such as defect prediction and change forecast, on information gathered by source code repositories. She also covers the use of machine learning methods in empirical software engineering, includes guidelines for reporting and publishing outcomes, and gifts popular software applications for carrying out empirical research.
