The Empirical Software Engineering working group empowers software development teams to make sound data-driven decisions by deploying novel analytic tools and methods based on ESE’s empirical research on products, process, people, and customers.
Our current interests are in the areas of:
- Software Reliability: Predicting Failures/Failure-proneness, Test Prioritization, Failure Analysis.
- Software Process: Organizational Impact on Quality, Agile Software Development, Global Software Development, Effort Estimation
- Empirical Studies: Unit Testing, Inspections, Assertions, Test Driven Development
- Games Research: Impact of Social Play, Retention of Players, Usage of Game Features
For an overview of our research activities, we recommend the showcase paper “Empirical Software Engineering at Microsoft Research.”
