Abstract

Software developers lack objective information to assess the effectiveness of current and proposed technologies and practices. We are developing a Software Engineering Research Repository (SERR), a widely-accessible repository of software development artifacts. The core artifacts of SERR are development artifacts, for example, code, models, and test cases, organized by projects. These raw materials provide a base for carrying out analyses and the results can be stored as related artifacts in the repository. In this way, the knowledge content of the repository can be built incrementally, providing a rich support base for other research activities. Research programs can thus build upon the results produced by other programs that utilize the repository. Software developers will be able to access objective data from the repository to assess software engineering tools and techniques.
