Ewan Tempero, a lecturer and supervisor of mine from my days at VUW (now at Auckland Uni) is part of a survey to find out what we actually practice in software engineering, so that they can compare it to what is being researched and taught:

Fill in the survey, it will take less than 10 minutes.

(Watch out for the 'rank the following 6 statements' question -- you can only put a rank against one statement)
