<P>In the decade since the idea of adapting the evidence-based paradigm for software engineering was first proposed, it has become a major tool of empirical software engineering. <B>Evidence-Based Software Engineering and Systematic Reviews</B> provides a clear introduction to the use of an evidence-based model for software engineering research and practice.<BR><BR>The book explains the roles of primary studies (experiments, surveys, case studies) as elements of an over-arching evidence model, rather than as disjointed elements in the empirical spectrum. Supplying readers with a clear understanding of empirical software engineering best practices, it provides up-to-date guidance on how to conduct secondary studies in software engineering¿replacing the existing 2004 and 2007 technical reports.<BR><BR>The book is divided into three parts. The first part discusses the nature of evidence and the evidence-based practices centered on a systematic review, both in general and as applying to so
