Vision & Core Research Fields
Effective software engineering requires healthy software and teams. A healthy software is maintainable, well-performing, with low technical debt, and based on sound design decisions. A healthy team is productive, diverse and inclusive. And healthy software and team amplify each other. Our research enables the software industry to improve their software and team health.
