Empirical software engineering course

Optional course (4 C.F.U.) for the 2nd year (second semester) of Laurea Specialistica in Ingegneria Informatica.

Course aims: learn the basics of experimental software engineering, in particular:

• how to design experiments and case studies;
• statistical methods for data analysis;
• how to analyze software data and perform predictions.

During the course, students will be expected to plan and design experiments, case studies and surveys that will be conducted with students or professionals, and to analyze results of these empirical studies.
Students will also experience the possibility of building predictive models (e.g., defect prediction) on data extracted from source code repositories (e.g., CVS, SVN, bug tracking systems).

The detailed course program can be found on the ECTS guide.

The course material is available upon request. Please contact me by e-mail.
