Guide to Advanced Empirical Software Engineering

by Forrest Shull (Editor), Janice Singer (Editor),
Dag I.K. Sjøberg (Editor)


Dr. Forrest Shull, division director for Measurement and Knowledge Management at CESE, has co-edited a book on methods for empirical software engineering research. This reference book includes chapters from some of the top international empirical software engineering researchers and focuses on the practical knowledge necessary for conducting, reporting and using empirical methods in software engineering.


SAVE Tool

The SAVE Tool official website


The Software Architecture Visualization and Evaluation (SAVE) tool visualizes and evaluates software architectures. It extracts the software architecture from your software systems and visualizes it in a powerful graphical user interface. The architecture can then be compared to a planned design.
