Replications, Revisions, and Reanalyses: Managing Empirical Evidence in Software Engineering
Julian Frattini, Jannik Fischbach, Davide Fucci +4
One aspired outcome of empirical research on quantitative data is a variance theory, i.e., a quantification of the effect of an independent on a dependent variables. The validity o…
Test Design and Review Argumentation in AI-Assisted Test Generation
Eduard Paul Enoiu, Robert Feldt
AI assistants can increasingly generate and evolve test cases. The challenge is no longer merely to produce them, but also to help engineers understand why a generated artefact exi…
The Semi-Executable Stack: Agentic Software Engineering and the Expanding Scope of SE
Robert Feldt, Per Lenberg, Julian Frattini +1
AI-based systems, currently driven largely by LLMs and tool-using agentic harnesses, are increasingly discussed as a possible threat to software engineering. Foundation models get…
Towards Improving the External Validity of Software Engineering Experiments with Transportability Methods
Julian Frattini, Richard Torkar, Robert Feldt +1
Controlled experiments are a core research method in software engineering (SE) for validating causal claims. However, recruiting a sample of participants that represents the intend…
Bridging the Socio-Emotional Gap: The Functional Dimension of Human-AI Collaboration for Software Engineering
Lekshmi Murali Rani, Richard Berntsson Svensson, Robert Feldt
As GenAI models are adopted to support software engineers and their development teams, understanding effective human-AI collaboration (HAIC) is increasingly important. Socio-emotio…
SE Journals in 2036: Looking Back at the Future We Need to Have
Tim Menzies, Paris Avgeriou, Robert Feldt +5
In 2025, SE publishing faces an existential crisis of scalability. As our communities swell globally and integrate fast-moving methodologies like LLMs, traditional peer-review prac…
