ABSTRACT
The industrial track of EASE'14 prompted the question of whether Evidence-Based Software Engineering (EBSE) could help industrial practitioners [4]. We address this question by summarising what we have learnt adopting EBSE within a large-scale engineering enterprise. Our intent is twofold: (i) to compile and summarise the learning accumulated and (ii) share this knowledge with both practitioners and researchers.

Evidence-Based Software Engineering for Practitioners
Software engineers might make incorrect decisions about adopting new techniques if they donýt consider scientific evidence about the techniquesý efficacy. Procedures used for evidence-based medicine can also apply to software engineering. Such evidence-...
A Survey of Software Engineering Practice: Tools, Methods, and Results
The results of a survey of software development practice are reported and analyzed. The problems encountered in various phases of the software life cycle are measured and correlated with characteristics of the responding installations. The use and ...
Software engineering practice versus evidence-based software engineering research
In this paper, we review four examples in software engineering practice of the lack of use of empirical evidence. We use these examples to support our claims that practitioners and researchers appear to have different values with regards to empirical ...
