TLDR
The paper discusses the ideas about practical support for collecting empirical data using a process-sensitive software engineering environment and the value of new technologies.Abstract:
All software projects are experiments in the sense of the scientific method because the outcomes are not known in advance, theories and hypotheses may be tested in the project empirically, and data must be collected and analyzed. Empirical data allows us to characterize projects, gauge improvements in an environment, and reason about the value of new technologies. The paper discusses our ideas about practical support for collecting empirical data using a process-sensitive software engineering environment.read more

Software project control centers: concepts and approaches
Jürgen Münch,Jens Heidrich +1 more
TL;DR: This article presents a reference model for concepts and definitions around SPCCs, a characterization and classification of essential approaches contributing to this field, and an outline for future research is derived from identified deficiencies of existing approaches.

Capturing implicit software engineering knowledge
TL;DR: This paper formulate a conceptual framework that captures the implicit knowledge, and then organize the knowledge in a useful form for the software experience factory and suggests a combination of knowledge capture techniques to achieve this end.

Improved software quality through improved development process descriptions
TL;DR: The problem addressed in this paper is the choice of a modeling procedure when formalizing existing, informal process descriptions, in which an informal description of an IBM Cleanroom process was transformed into a formal Multi-View Process Modeling Language (MVP-L) model.

Reverse engineering the process of small novice software teams
Ying Liu,Eleni Stroulia +1 more
TL;DR: This paper describes the work on analyzing the CVS history of a team project repository to extract information about the nature of the collaboration between the members of aTeam, and how this analysis can support the instructor in noticing evidence of potential problems who can then use this information to alert the team.

Software development: a paradigm for the future
TL;DR: A new paradigm for software development that treats software development as an experimental activity is presented and an organization scheme is proposed for separating the project-specific focus from the organization's learning and reuse focuses of software development.

A case study in process representation using MVP-L
TL;DR: The authors conducted a case study within TRW which involved the creation of formal process specifications and designs using MVP-L, an existing process notation, to understand the various steps in representing processes and evaluating notations for each process-representation step.
