Abstract

The Conference on Evaluation and Assessment in Software Engineering (EASE 97) reviewed the problem of evaluating the development process, engineering methods and the software products in software engineering. Empirical methods are used to identify software engineering problems which involves understanding the variety of available empirical methods, the strengths and weaknesses of each empirical method, and the constraints imposed by the context of a particular investigation. Topics related to empirical evaluation include: evaluation skills and scope; linked evaluations; and ethical issues.
