The ever increasing complexity of software and rapidly changing development environments continues to drive the evolution of new technologies, techniques, and tools. This special issue, Software Engineering in Practice, provides the software engineering community with a valuable collection of current high-quality research articles that explore topics driven by real problems in industry. The inspiration for this special issue has drawn upon the ICSE Software Engineering in Practice Track (ICSE SEIP 2019)*, part of the Industry Program at the 41st International Conference on Software Engineering†; it builds upon the success of the previous special issue with the same theme.1 The ICSE SEIP Track provides a premier venue for researchers and practitioners to discuss innovations and solutions to concrete software engineering problems. The guest coeditor team for this special issue is an international collaboration involving the co-organizers of the ICSE SEIP 2019 Track, Helen Sharp and Michael Whalen, and two editors of the Journal of Software: Practice and Experience‡ (JSPE), Judith Bishop and Kendra M. L. Cooper.
