== Future of empirical software engineering research ==
In a keynote at the [http://www.esem-conferences.org/ International Symposium on Empirical Software Engineering and Measurement] Prof. Wohlin recommended ten commitments that the research community should follow to increase the relevance and impact of empirical software engineering research.<ref>{{Cite journalbook |lastdoi=Wohlin10.1145/2961111.2962641|firstisbn=Claes9781450344272|date=2016-01-01|titlechapter=Is Therethere a Future for Empirical Software Engineering?|url=http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/2961111.2962641|journaltitle=Proceedings of the 10th ACM/IEEE International Symposium on Empirical Software Engineering and Measurement|series= - ESEM '16|___locationpages=New York, NY, USA1|publisheryear=ACM2016|pageslast1=1:1–1:1Wohlin|doifirst1=10.1145/2961111.2962641|isbn=9781450344272Claes}}</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 journalbook |lastdoi=Ali10.1145/2961111.2962631|firstisbn=Nauman bin9781450344272|date=2016-01-01|titlechapter=Is Effectivenesseffectiveness Sufficientsufficient to Choosechoose an Interventionintervention?: Considering Resource Use in Empirical Software Engineering|url=http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/2961111.2962631|journaltitle=Proceedings of the 10th ACM/IEEE International Symposium on Empirical Software Engineering and Measurement|series= - ESEM '16|___locationpages=New York, NY, USA1–6|publisheryear=ACM2016|pageslast1=54:1–54:6Ali|doifirst1=10.1145/2961111.2962631|isbn=9781450344272Nauman bin}}</ref>
