Software intelligence: the future of mining software engineering data

摘要: Mining software engineering data has emerged as a successful research direction over the past decade. In this position paper, we advocate Software Intelligence (SI) future of mining data, within modern research, practice, and education. We coin name SI an inspiration from Business (BI) field, which offers concepts techniques to improve business decision making by using fact-based support systems. Similarly, practitioners (not just developers) up-to-date pertinent information their daily decision-making processes. should processes throughout lifetime system not during its development phase.The vision yet become reality that would enable have strong impact on practice. Nevertheless, recent advances in Repositories (MSR) field show great promise provide for realizing near future. This paper summarizes state practice SI, lays out directions SI.
