The DACS (Data and Analysis Center for Software) Data Compendium

Abstract

One of the primary functions of the DACS is the acquisition, maintenance, and dissemination of empirical software life cycle data for research purposes. The DACS has acquired seven sets of data from various sources and maintains this data in the Software Life Cycle Empirical Database (SLED). In order to provide researchers with information detailed enough to determine if these datasets, a subset of one of them, or a combination of them will serve their research needs, the DACS has published this compendium of the data contained in the SLED. The Compendium provides for each dataset the time period represented by the data, the life cycle phases represented, the parameters present, the degree of completeness of the dataset, the type (when available) of software against which the data was collected, and the numbers of records of each type. Seven appendices provide detailed record formates for each dataset. The Compendium also contains complete details on the procedures required for users to obtain subsets of this data in hard copy or magnetic tape format.
