Description for Foundations of Empirical Software Engineering
hardcover. Captures the scientific contributions of Victor R Basili, who has shaped the field of empirical software engineering. He was the first to claim that software engineering needed to follow the model of other physical sciences and develop an experimental paradigm. This book presents a collection of papers on software engineering. Editor(s): Boehm, Barry W.; Rombach, Hans Dieter; Zelkowitz, Marvin V. Num Pages: 442 pages, biography. BIC Classification: UMZ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 25. Weight in Grams: 807.
Although software engineering can trace its beginnings to a NATO conf- ence in 1968, it cannot be said to have become an empirical science until the 1970s with the advent of the work of Prof. Victor Robert Basili of the University of Maryland. In addition to the need to engineer software was the need to understand software. Much like other sciences, such as physics, chemistry, and biology, software engineering needed a discipline of obs- vation, theory formation, experimentation, and feedback. By applying the scientific method to the software engineering domain, Basili developed concepts like the Goal-Question-Metric method, the Quality-Improvement- Paradigm, ... Read more
