Research areas:

• Experimentation in Software Engineering: new methodologies (incl. agile methodologies e.g. eXtreme Programming, Kanban, Scrumban), practices (e.g. Test-Driven Development, Continuous-Test-Driven Development) and tools (e.g. Judy mutation testing tool for Java) in software engineering and their empirical evaluation by means of experiments, case studies and then statistical analyses and meta-analyses using R, SPSS, Statistica.
• Data mining and machine learning in software engineering (e.g. software defect,  size, effort prediction models).
• Software metrics, models and quality i.e. production code as well as test code quality (e.g. by means of mutation testing technique and Judy mutation testing tool).
• Software process and products improvement.
• Search-based software engineering

Research projects:

• Mutation testing:
  • Judy mutation testing tool for Java to measure fault-finding effectiveness of programmer tests
  • Higher order mutation testing
  • Equivalent mutants problem
• Continuous Test-Driven Development:
  • with tests evaluation
  • with tests generation
• Software defect prediction models:
  • novel code change metrics
  • behavioral metrics in Eclipse IDE
  • novel defect prediction models
  • predicting top crashes
