Abstract
Although the role of integrating application domain knowledge with technical knowledge is implicitly recognized in software engineering practice, no large scale study has attempted to validate this empirically in a field setting. In this paper, a large-scale empirical study of 232 software development projects in 232 software development organizations shows that higher integration of business application domain knowledge with technical knowledge during the software development process increases software development effectiveness, reduces defect density throughout the development trajectory, lowers warranty defects, and increases software development efficiency. The findings highlight the influence of knowledge integration on various dimensions of software development performance.
