Abstract
Software engineering is complex and success depends on many inter-related factors. Theory Based Software Engineering (TBSE) is about providing a practical way for software teams to understand the relationships and the influence of these factors to thereby adapt the way they work. This paper proposes an approach to TBSE based on Essence, a software engineering kernel distilled by the SEMAT (Software Engineering Method and Theory) initiative. Essence supports TBSE by providing a domain model that is useful for organizing and relating software engineering factors. Essence also helps make recommended practices precise and actionable to software teams. We provide a step-by-step application of our approach on an industrial software process improvement case study. The case study achieved 21% productivity gains and 58% decrease in defects. But more importantly than these results, it demonstrates the value of Essence in supporting TBSE.
