American Scientist magazine has recently published an article by Jorge Aranda and Greg Wilson about empirical studies in software engineering based on the book Making Software: What Really Works, and Why We Believe It (O’Reilly 2010). You can find the article online at: http://www.americanscientist.org/issues/id.13845,y.2011,no.6,content.true,page.1,css.print/issue.aspx.

At the PROMISE 2011 conference in Banff, Ayse Bener of Ryerson University organized a panel on the future of predictive modelling in software development. Such models are used for quality, productivity, schedule, cost, or profitability estimation and rely on rich historical data, both code- and non-code related, to be successul. Setting them up, collecting the [...]
