  Factors and actors leading to the adoption of a JavaScript framework
Pano A., Graziotin D., Abrahamsson P. Empirical Software Engineering 23(6): 3503-3534, 2018.  Type: Article

JavaScript is a front-end and back-end language for producing web content. Hundreds of frameworks aimed at improving some aspect or another of working with it attest to its popularity. This paper is a structured qualitative analysis of...

  A comparison of code similarity analysers
Ragkhitwetsagul C., Krinke J., Clark D. Empirical Software Engineering 23(4): 2464-2519, 2018.  Type: Article

Analyzing code similarity in source code is essential to detecting clones, duplicate code, plagiarism, and software copyright violations. Over the years, researchers have proposed various approaches for detecting code similarity, for e...

  On the correlation between size and metric validity
Gil Y., Lalouche G. Empirical Software Engineering 22(5): 2585-2611, 2017.  Type: Article

“If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it.” Not so fast! Internal software metrics, or code metrics, have their history in software engineering. We love to measure software development becaus...

  High-MCC functions in the Linux kernel
Jbara A., Matan A., Feitelson D. Empirical Software Engineering 19(5): 1261-1298, 2014.  Type: Article

The evaluation and mitigation of the complexity of computer programs are important tasks in the software life cycle. McCabe’s cyclomatic complexity (MCC) is a widely used metric for the control flow complexity of computer pro...

  Replication of empirical studies in software engineering research: a systematic mapping study
da Silva F., Suassuna M., França A., Grubb A., Gouveia T., Monteiro C., dos Santos I. Empirical Software Engineering 19(3): 501-557, 2014.  Type: Article

Given the vitality of replication experiments in other fields of empirical research, it is surprising that more attention has not been paid to replication of studies in software engineering. The authors of this paper cite a number of r...

  Studying the relationship between logging characteristics and the code quality of platform software
Shang W., Nagappan M., Hassan A. Empirical Software Engineering 20(1): 1-27, 2015.  Type: Article

Software engineering aims, among other goals, to improve quality and contain costs of software; accordingly, this paper is a small, incremental contribution. It claims novelty in asserting formally a correlation between the amount of l...

  A practical guide to controlled experiments of software engineering tools with human participants
Ko A., LaToza T., Burnett M. Empirical Software Engineering 20(1): 110-141, 2015.  Type: Article

Software engineering (SE) is, by its nature, empirical and interdisciplinary. A brief reflection on the software engineering life cycle identifies numerous activities, having varied interactions, that require challenging choices: for e...

  An empirical study on the impact of static typing on software maintainability
Hanenberg S., Kleinschmager S., Robbes R., Tanter É., Stefik A. Empirical Software Engineering 19(5): 1335-1382, 2014.  Type: Article

Traditionally, science and engineering involve a fair amount of empirical work; it is, after all, one of the foundations of the scientific method. Until recently, there was rather a dearth of empirical work in both computer science (CS...

  A flexible method to estimate the software development effort based on the classification of projects and localization of comparisons
Khatibi Bardsiri V., Jawawi D., Hashim S., Khatibi E. Empirical Software Engineering 19(4): 857-884, 2014.  Type: Article

Effort estimation in software development is acknowledged as one of the key success factors of systems creation. Despite significant interest in the subject and multiple existing methods, effort estimation remains a challenge with low ...
