It makes me wonder. Is there enough research and sufficient good data to make evidence-based software engineering? It's not something that comes up much and whenever I do see research, it usually feels disconnected from realities in software development. That said, I'm going to read this and see if there's anything valuable to learn.

I don't think there is a lot of data from what I've seen. This book claims to pull together some 620 data sets for analysis. I have only glanced over a few sections that interest me and I don't see citations to some papers that I've found interesting.

It'll be interesting to see if the author can pull it together in an engaging way.

There is some effort in IEEE and ACM circles to pull together research like this as well. Worth trialing a membership to find out.
