Our Research Group

The Software Engineering Realsearch Group is committed to sound empirical software engineering research. Our roots are in Extreme Programming and Pair Programming research, but we have expanded into the areas of reliability, security, static analysis, and test case prioritization. Working closely with our industry partners, we conduct our research with the goal of improving the software development process and software quality.

Congratulations to Laurie on getting Tenure!

Dr. Laurie Williams received tenure at NC State University in May of 2006! The picture above is from the surprise party given in her honor on May 10th. She's holding a signed copy of a "research paper" written on her ability to correct student research papers.

Congratulations Dr. Srikanth!

Hema Srikanth successfully defended her PhD dissertation! We all wish her the best!
