TY - JOUR T1 - The past, present, and future of experimental software engineering JF - Journal of the Brazilian Computer Society Y1 - 2006 A1 - Basili, Victor R. AB - This paper gives a 40 year overview of the evolution of experimental software engineering, from the past to the future, from a personal perspective. My hypothesis is that my work followed the evolution of the field. I use my own experiences and thoughts as a barometer of how the field has changed and present some opinions about where we need to go.
