Software engineering deals with the development and delivery of high-quality software to users within time and budget. New software development technologies, techniques, tools, and empirical evidence are evolving continuously as a result of ever-changing business environments. At the same time software systems and code are becoming more complex. These factors are increasing the pressure to release high quality code to diverse markets in the shortest time under high level of uncertainties. In response to these challenging conditions, the software engineering research community is working to improve software engineering practices. Researchers are continuously publishing rigorous empirical studies, validated solutions, evaluated solutions, open source tools, experience reports and opinions that highlight innovations and advances in software engineering. Research and Evidence in Software Engineering: From Empirical Studies to Open Source Artifacts is an edited collection of chapters whose aim is to further the practice of developing and delivering high-quality software. The book presents relevant theoretical frameworks, empirical research findings, and evaluated solutions addressing research challenges in the software engineering domain. It explores issues, techniques and practices relevant to software engineering research community. To foster collaboration among software engineering researchers, the book reports datasets related to various software engineering aspects as acquired systematically through scientific methods. Because software is so prevalent in contemporary organizations, the book has a broad range of readers that includes: Academics, scientists, and research who will learn about: Latest software engineering studies and how to teach them Innovating research lines Formulating research proposals Innovating techniques, tools, and practices as employed in an organizational context New primary literature sources Software engineers who can use the book to: Adopt research techniques, tools, and practices in their working context Evaluate the studies in the industrial context and adopt them to improve practice Management executives who will find insight on: Innovating software development strategy, practices, and policies Incorporating interdisciplinary knowledge and practices used in other organization.
