Abstract

Empirical studies can play a multitude of roles in what is loosely called process improvement. In this paper we examine what is meant in the software industry by process improvement and how we can and should be able to use empirical studies to improve software processes. This paper evolved from discussions at the Empirical Studies in Software Development and Evolution Workshop at ICSE99.
