软件工程中经验证据的文献综述

A Literature Survey on Empirical Evidence in Software Engineering

Ekaterina Pek, Ralf Lämmel

摘要:

背景:软件工程研究利用软件工件(语料库)的集合来获得经验证据。目的:为了提高研究的质量和可重复性,我们需要了解所用语料库的特点。方法:为此,我们使用扎根理论进行了文献调查。我们分析了七个相关会议的最新进展。结果如下:虽然几乎所有的论文都使用某种类型的语料库,常见的情况是开源Java项目的源代码集合,但所有论文中都没有经常使用的项目或语料库。对于某些会议,我们可以检测到复发。我们发现了几种形式的要求和应用调优语料库,这表明更具体的需求的研究工作。结论:我们的调查反馈到一个定量的基础上,讨论软件工程的实证研究的现状,从而最终提高研究质量,特别是在使用(和重用)的实证证据。

英文摘要:

Context: Software Engineering research makes use of collections of software artifacts (corpora) to derive empirical evidence from. Goal: To improve quality and reproducibility of research, we need to understand the characteristics of used corpora. Method: For that, we perform a literature survey using grounded theory. We analyze the latest proceedings of seven relevant conferences. Results: While almost all papers use corpora of some kind with the common case of collections of source code of open-source Java projects, there are no frequently used projects or corpora across all the papers. For some conferences we can detect recurrences. We discover several forms of requirements and applied tunings for corpora which indicate more specific needs of research efforts. Conclusion: Our survey feeds into a quantitative basis for discussing the current state of empirical research in software engineering, thereby enabling ultimately improvement of research quality specifically in terms of use (and reuse) of empirical evidence.
