Empirical software engineering is a related concept, sometimes used synonymously with experimental software engineering. 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.
=== Future of empirical software engineering research ===
In a recent keynote at the premier conference on empirical methods in software engineering (International Symposium on Empirical Software Engineering and Measurement http://www.esem-conferences.org/) Prof. Wohlin recommended ten commitments that the research community should follow to increase the relevance and impact of empirical software engineering research<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Wohlin|first=Claes|date=2016-01-01|title=Is There a Future for Empirical Software Engineering?|url=http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/2961111.2962641|journal=Proceedings of the 10th ACM/IEEE International Symposium on Empirical Software Engineering and Measurement|series=ESEM '16|___location=New York, NY, USA|publisher=ACM|pages=1:1–1:1|doi=10.1145/2961111.2962641|isbn=9781450344272}}</ref>. However, at the same conference Dr. Ali effectively argued that solely following these will not be enough and we need to do more than just show the evidence substantiating the claimed benefits of our interventions but instead what is required for practical relevance and potential impact is the evidence for cost-effectiveness<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Ali|first=Nauman bin|date=2016-01-01|title=Is Effectiveness Sufficient to Choose an Intervention?: Considering Resource Use in Empirical Software Engineering|url=http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/2961111.2962631|journal=Proceedings of the 10th ACM/IEEE International Symposium on Empirical Software Engineering and Measurement|series=ESEM '16|___location=New York, NY, USA|publisher=ACM|pages=54:1–54:6|doi=10.1145/2961111.2962631|isbn=9781450344272}}</ref>.
