    • Data quality in empirical software engineering: a targeted review

      Bosu, MF; MacDonell, SG (ACM, 2013)
      Context: The utility of prediction models in empirical software engineering (ESE) is heavily reliant on the quality of the data used in building those models. Several data quality challenges such as noise, incompleteness, ...

    • Data stream mining for predicting software build outcomes using source code metrics

      Finlay, J; Pears, R; Connor, AM (Elsevier, 2014)
      Context: Software development projects involve the use of a wide range of tools to produce a software artifact. Software repositories such as source control systems have become a focus for emergent research because they ...
