Research Profile
My research focuses on proposing, implementing and evaluating techniques that add value to software testing in modern software development catering for the challenges imposed by i) large-scale organizations and software-intensive systems, ii) a changing development environment with the introduction of novel technologies or processes, and iii) the synergies between the human testers and the automated techniques, where experience-based knowledge should co-exist with data-driven decision making.
