Re-founding software engineering - SEMAT at the age of three (keynote abstract)

Ivar Jacobson, Ian Spence, Pontus Johnson, Mira Kajko-Mattsson

Abstract

Software engineering is gravely hampered by immature practices. Specific problems include: The prevalence of fads more typical of the fashion industry than an engineering discipline; a huge number of methods and method variants, with differences little understood and artificially magnified; the lack of credible experimental evaluation and validation; and the split between industry practice and academic research.
