The State of Software
Engineering Research
Lionel Briand
FSE’16, November 16, 2016
Question 1
• Do you believe our community as a whole is achieving the
right balance of science, engineering, and design in its
combined research efforts?
• Engineering and design aspects do not get nearly enough
attention.
• We need to devise not only novel, sound solutions but also
practical and scalable ones.
• Significant variations across domains and contexts.
2
Question 2
•  What new or existing areas of research do you think our community
should pay more attention to?
•  The problem is not with the areas we focus on, but with the dominant
paradigm of academic research. 
•  Research largely disconnected from practical engineering needs and
priorities.
•  We fail to recognize the significant variations across domains and
context.
•  In our discipline, context factors (including human ones), working
assumptions, make a huge difference.
3
Question 3
•  Do you have novel suggestions for how we could improve our
research methods to increase the impact of software engineering
research in the near and distant future?
•  More collaborative research with industry, leading to a better
definition and prioritization of problems, realistic working
assumptions in various application domains, better evaluation of
practicality and scalability. 
•  We are not a branch of computer science. We need to accept the
fact that industrial (applied) research, driven by practicality and
scalability considerations, is a necessary component of an
engineering discipline.

The State of Software Engineering Research

  • 1. .lusoftware verification & validation VVS The State of Software Engineering Research Lionel Briand FSE’16, November 16, 2016
  • 2. Question 1 • Do you believe our community as a whole is achieving the right balance of science, engineering, and design in its combined research efforts? • Engineering and design aspects do not get nearly enough attention. • We need to devise not only novel, sound solutions but also practical and scalable ones. • Significant variations across domains and contexts. 2
  • 3. Question 2 •  What new or existing areas of research do you think our community should pay more attention to? •  The problem is not with the areas we focus on, but with the dominant paradigm of academic research. •  Research largely disconnected from practical engineering needs and priorities. •  We fail to recognize the significant variations across domains and context. •  In our discipline, context factors (including human ones), working assumptions, make a huge difference. 3
  • 4. Question 3 •  Do you have novel suggestions for how we could improve our research methods to increase the impact of software engineering research in the near and distant future? •  More collaborative research with industry, leading to a better definition and prioritization of problems, realistic working assumptions in various application domains, better evaluation of practicality and scalability. •  We are not a branch of computer science. We need to accept the fact that industrial (applied) research, driven by practicality and scalability considerations, is a necessary component of an engineering discipline. 4
