'''Experimental software engineering''' involves running [[experiment]]s on the processes and procedures involved in the creation of [[software system]]s,{{citation needed|date=February 2013}} with the intent that the data be used as the basis of theories about the processes involved in [[software engineering]] (theory backed by data is a fundamental tenet of the [[scientific method]]). A number of [httphttps://shape-of-code.coding-guidelines.com/20132021/0610/2924/empiricalevidence-based-se-groups-doing-interesting-work-20132021-version/ research groups] primarily use empirical and experimental techniques.

The term [[empirical software engineering]] emphasizes the use of empirical studies of all kinds to accumulate knowledge. Methods used include experiments, case studies, surveys, and using whatever data is available.
