What issues in software engineering have the most pressing need for empirical studies?

I do not think we really know the answer as a community. We really lack a list of prioritized questions, a list of fundamental challenges.

But I do know is that the most relevant questions will:

1) do not have answers yet, or the answers are not consistent, or they are “folklore”

2) impact many if an answer is found

3) stated as hypotheses that can be checked.

 

Tim Menzies mentioned to me recently that the fallacies in Glass’s book “Facts and Fallacies of Software Engineering” could be a good starting point for some of the questions involving developers.
