Abstract

The two ongoing repositories of software projects in the software engineering community are the ISBSG (International Software Benchmarking Standards Group) Repository and PROMISE (Predictor Models In Software Engineering). These repositories lack structured documentation and a researcher interested in using the datasets has to conduct his own investigation to identify the datasets that are suitable for his purposes. This paper provides additional information on these datasets by identifying the topics addressed, highlighting the availability of the data file and of the description of attributes related to the datasets, and indicating their usefulness for benchmarking studies.
