Journal ArticleDOI
Systematic literature reviews in software engineering - A systematic literature review
Barbara Kitchenham,O. Pearl Brereton,David Budgen,Mark Turner,John W. Bailey,Stephen Linkman +5 more
TL;DR: The series of cost estimation SLRs demonstrate the potential value of EBSE for synthesising evidence and making it available to practitioners and European researchers appear to be the leading exponents of systematic literature reviews.
Journal ArticleDOI
Systematic literature reviews in software engineering - A tertiary study
Barbara Kitchenham,Rialette Pretorius,David Budgen,O. Pearl Brereton,Mark Turner,Mahmood Niazi,Stephen Linkman +6 more
TL;DR: SLRs appear to have gone past the stage of being used solely by innovators but cannot yet be considered a main stream software engineering research methodology, such as often failing to assess primary study quality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling software measurement data
TL;DR: The proposed method is presented in terms of a conceptual entity-relationship data model that allows complex software data sets to be modeled and their data values stored and can contribute both to the definition of a company measurement program and to the exchange of data sets among researchers.
Protocol for a Tertiary study of Systematic Literature Reviews and Evidence-based Guidelines in IT and Software Engineering
TL;DR: The EPSRC have now funded a joint Keele and Durham follow-on project (EPIC), investigating the feasibility of EBSE.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimates, uncertainty, and risk
TL;DR: It is asserted that uncertainty and risk cannot be managed effectively at the individual project level and these factors must be considered in an organizational context.
