背景资料：2004年，循证软件工程（EBSE）的概念在ICSE 04会议上被引入。目的：本研究评估了系统性文献综述（SLR）的影响，SLR是EBSE推荐的聚集证据的方法。方法：我们使用标准的系统性文献综述方法，人工检索了10种期刊和4个会议记录。结果：在20项相关研究中，有8项涉及研究趋势，而不是技术评估。7项SLR涉及费用估算。SLR的质量一般，只有3份评分低于2分。结论：目前SLR的研究领域有限。欧洲研究人员，特别是那些在仿真实验室似乎是系统的文献综述的主要倡导者。一系列成本估算SLR证明了EBSE在综合证据并将其提供给从业人员方面的潜在价值。(C)2008 Elsevier B.V.保留所有权利。
Background: In 2004 the concept of evidence-based software engineering (EBSE) was introduced at the ICSE04 conference.Aims: This study assesses the impact of systematic literature reviews (SLRs) which are the recommended EBSE method for aggregating evidence.Method: We used the standard systematic literature review method employing a manual search of 10 journals and 4 conference proceedings.Results: Of 20 relevant studies, eight addressed research trends rather than technique evaluation. Seven SLRs addressed cost estimation. The quality of SLRs was fair with only three scoring less than 2 out of 4.Conclusions: Currently, the topic areas covered by SLRs are limited. European researchers, particularly those at the Simula Laboratory appear to be the leading exponents of systematic literature reviews. The series of cost estimation SLRs demonstrate the potential value of EBSE for synthesising evidence and making it available to practitioners. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
