We all have some ideas about what works in software engineering and what doesn’t. But without real evidence and data that is just an opinion. Empirical software engineering tries to answer the question of what can be proven to work in software development. In this episode, Hillel Wayne and Laurent Bossavit will talk about what we know about software development, what we don’t know - and the myths about it i.e. what we think we know but really don’t.
