Verification, Validation, and Defect Prediction

About Verification, Validation, and Defect Prediction

Our research focuses on understanding of code defects in software projects in order to be able to predict their occurrence, this approach focuses on error rates, recall and completeness (amongst other) metrics to assess the performance of a software system and learn why faults are likely to occur. We also investigate how software project specifications capture stakeholders needs and explore ways in which software products meet, or fail to meet, outlined specifications.
