We no longer have to collect and analyze data manually—today's
programming environments, tools, and analysis techniques are a huge help. Yet
the world's store of data is growing explosively. A new field, the mining of
software archives, is poised to push the extraction, collection, and
abstraction of information to new levels.
Celebrating
25 Years of IEEE Software's Publication
The magazine's current and past volunteer leaders reviewed hundreds of articles
Software published in the last 25 years and picked their favorites. They
offer this remarkable list of 35 Must-Reads.

From the Editor
A Tale of Two Conferences
For the 2008 ICSE and Agile conferences, Software’s editor in chief
prepared a flash poll to gauge key perceptions regarding the separation between
software engineering research and software development practice. The results
for each conference were interesting, but the differences between the two
groups were especially revealing.| Hakan Erdogmus
Guest Editors' Introduction
Mining Software Archives
Modern programming environments automatically collect lots of data
on software development, notably changes and defects. The field of mining
software archives deals with the automated extraction, collection, and
abstraction of information from this data. This is the introduction to a
special issue of IEEE Software presenting a selection of the exciting
research that is taking place in the field. | Nachiappan Nagappan, Andreas Zeller, and
Thomas Zimmermann
