The Software Engineering Method and Theory (SEMAT) community created the Essence kernel as a unifying framework for describing and analyzing software engineering endeavors. The Essence kernel is based upon human experience and judgment, not empirical data.

Background: At Carnegie Mellon University in Silicon Valley, we have collected data from masters of science in software engineering students as they complete a team-based project course as their capstone or practicum project using the Essence kernel. Each week, the team recorded their progress in an Essence Reflection meeting. This data serves as training data for evaluating the Essence kernel and alternative candidate kernels. …
