This
book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 9th International
Conference on Evaluation of Novel Approaches to Software Engineering, ENASE 2014,
held in Lisbon, Portugal, in April 2014.
The 11 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 58
submissions. The papers reflect a growing effort to increase the dissemination
of new results among researchers and professionals related to evaluation of
novel approaches to software engineering. By comparing novel approaches with
established traditional practices and by evaluating them against software
quality criteria, the ENASE conferences advance knowledge and research in
software engineering, identify most hopeful trends, and propose new directions
for consideration by researchers and practitioners involved in large-scale
software development and integration.
