Skip Abstract Section
Abstract
Based on their own experiences of in-depth case studies of software projects in international corporations, in this bookthe authors present detailed practical guidelines on the preparation, conduct, design and reporting of case studies of software engineering. This is the first software engineering specific book on thecase study research method.

Software engineering research versus software development
Engineering research differs greatly, both in its aims and in its methods, from traditional "scientific" research. While Sciences deal with the study of existing objects and phenomena, be it physically, metaphysically or conceptually, Engineering is ...
Software, software engineering and software engineering research: some unconventional thoughts
Software engineering is broadly discussed as falling far short of expectations. Data and examples are used to justify how software itself is often poor, how the engineering of software leaves much to be desired, and how research in software engineering ...
Is software engineering research addressing software engineering problems?: (keynote)
ASE '20: Proceedings of the 35th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Automated Software EngineeringBrian Randell described software engineering as "the multi-person development of multi-version programs". David Parnas expressed that this "pithy phrase implies everything that differentiates software engineering from other programming" (Parnas, 2011). ...
