Abstract

This paper aims to examine the research trends in Empirical Software Engineering domain by applying topic modelling. Figure. Topic Modeling for research trends in Empirical Software Engineering AimThis paper intends to investigate and analzye the research trends in Empirical Software Engineering domain within the last two decades using text mining. Design & MethodologyThe abstracts of 10658 articles published in the literature were analyzed using topic modeling, and the research topics in this field were investigated and analyzed comparatively. OriginalityThis study is the first in applying the topic modeling technique in Emprical Software Engineering literature. FindingsThe analysis for the last 20-year period have shown that; Organization, Software Development Process and Human topics got the most attention from researchers and the fastest growing research topics are Performance, Coding, Testing and Software Practice. ConclusionIt can be expected that the Empirical Software Engineering research will gain more interest from the research community as software industry needs for more evidence on the practical applications of the theory.
