Software Systems, Their Engineers and Their Testers

My overall research goal is to provide meaningful insights, methods and practical tools to help the work of stakeholders during various phases of software development to explore the human factor of IT. My current work mainly considers the analyses of package structure and its relation to the grouping of test cases. With this I aim to help senior developers to find problematic or hard to understand parts of software. During my research I introduced an elaborated test coverage based method to find and classify discrepancies between dynamic and static production and test code grouping. This technique helps both testers and developers to find stray test cases or code elements in Java package structure. In the second to last section I briefly introduce my other two research topics and their possible applications in the field of software testing.
