A Review on Experience Management in Software Engineering
Main Article Content
Abstract
Experience Management (EM) is an area that is increasingly gaining importance. Its roots lie in experimental software engineering which is highly dynamic field in terms of research and knowledge. The goal of experience management is to reuse elements as building blocks in new software with modification occurring in a controlled way. It defines and develops methods, technologies and tools for identifying, collecting and storing experience related to software development. It helps in creating new software from existing software rather than building them from scratch. This paper highlights Experience Factory as an experience management approach in which experience is managed in a formalized way for the purpose of its reuse. It explicitly deals with continuous (organizational) learning from experience as a resource of increasing importance, merged under notion of Experience Management.
