About My Research
- Program-Based Assessment and Diagnosis
In the past few years my colleagues and I have
developed the Telcordia
Software Visualization and Analysis Toolsuite
(also known as xSuds)
to provide an integrated solution to reduce software
development cost and also improve its productivity and quality.
I am in the process of developing a set of metrics for evaluating
the overall quality of selected telecommunication systems
and identifying their fault-prone software modules.
Also in development are metrics for better
system understanding. Such metrics provide
quantitative measurements for the closeness between
program features and program components,
as well as the overlap, in terms of source code,
between different features.
My interest in software reliability includes
the impact of testing coverage information and
different testing techniques on reliability analysis.
- Architectural Design-Based Assessment and Diagnosis
With improved technology for automatic code generation
from architectural specifications, it becomes even more
important to have, from the beginning, a highly reliable
and dependable system design. To ensure this, we have to
predict code quality early in the development process.
We are developing a design metrics analyzer which can analyze
the design documentation represented in a high level specification
language such as SDL to determine the better design when alternative
choices exist, and to identify possible stress points that may
lead to difficulty during coding.
Moreover, we are in the process of applying our technology in source code level
to coverage testing, diagnosis, and understanding
of software architectural designs.
In this way, we will be able to monitor the quality of our system
starting from its design and avoid, as much as possible,
repairing software in later stages of development,
which can be extremely expensive.
