EMPIRICAL SOFTWARE ENGINEERING

经验软件工程为应用软件工程研究提供了一个论坛，具有强大的实证成分，以及发布与研究人员和从业人员相关的实证结果的场所。 此处提供的实证研究通常涉及数据和经验的收集和分析，可用于表征，评估和揭示软件开发可交付成果，实践和技术之间的关系。 随着时间的推移，预计这些实证结果将形成一个知识体系，从而导致广泛接受和形成良好的理论。该期刊还提供工业经验报告，详细介绍了软件技术的应用 - 流程，方法或工具 - 以及它们在工业环境中的有效性。经验软件工程促进了与行业相关的研究的出版，以解决研究与实践之间的巨大差距。

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.
