Software engineering theory and practice is still to a large extent based more on faith than on science. Only by contributing to the scientific and empirically grounded body of knowledge within a specific area of application, theory and practice can develop. Experimentation is an important scientific approach to collec...

The findings indicate an improvement in effort estimation skills and an increase in the resulting product quality in terms of reduced total defect density and the use of the PSP method in the software industry is discussed.
