Empirical Software Engineering and Measurement
(ESM)
Overview
The Empirical Software Engineering and Measurement activities at Microsoft Research focuses on understanding various software development issues from an empirical perspective. We are involved in doing practical studies on large software systems. All our work is done in conjunction with product teams in Microsoft like Windows, Visual Studio etc. Our current interests are in the areas of:
News: Visual Studio highlights our work on Relative Code Churn Measures (ICSE 05) in a Visual Studio Showcase!
