'''Experimental software engineering''' is a sub-___domain of [[software engineering]] focusing on [[experiment]]s on [[software system]]s (software products, processes, and resources). It is interested in devising experiments on software, in collecting data from these experiments, and in devising laws and theories from this data. Proponents of experimental software engineering advocate that experimentation is an important method in contributing to accumulation of knowledge in software engineering.▼

▲'''Experimental software engineering''' is a sub-___domain of [[software engineering]] focusing on [[experiment]]s on [[software system]]s (software products, processes, and resources).{{fact|date=February 2013}} It is interested in devising experiments on software, in collecting data from these experiments, and in devising laws and theories from this data. Proponents of experimental software engineering advocate that experimentation is an important method in contributing to accumulation of knowledge in software engineering.
Empirical software engineering is a related concept, sometimes used synonymously with experimental software engineering. Empirical software engineering is a field of research that emphasizes the use of empirical studies of all kinds to accumulate knowledge. Methods used include experiments, variety of case studies, surveys, and statistical analyses.
==Rationale==
The [[scientific method]] suggests a cycle of observations, laws, and theories to advance science. Experimental software engineering applies this method to [[software]].
