Empirical Software Engineering

期刊简介：Empirical Software Engineering provides a forum for applied software engineering research with a strong empirical component, and a venue for publishing empirical results relevant to both researchers and practitioners. Empirical studies presented here 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.The journal also offers industrial experience reports detailing the application of software technologies - processes, methods, or tools - and their effectiveness in industrial settings.Empirical Software Engineering promotes the publication of industry-relevant research, to address the significant gap between research and practice.

【译文】实证软件工程提供了一个论坛，用于发表具有强烈实证成分的应用软件工程研究，并为研究人员和从业者提供与实证结果相关的出版平台。这里展示的实证研究通常涉及数据的收集和分析，以及可用于描述、评估和揭示软件开发成果、实践和技术之间关系的经验和数据。随着时间的推移，预计这些实证结果将形成一套知识体系，导致广泛接受和完善的理论。该期刊还提供了工业经验报告，详细说明了软件技术在工业环境中的应用——过程、方法或工具——以及它们在工业环境中的有效性。实证软件工程促进与工业相关的研究的出版，以解决研究和实践之间的重要差距。
