Concept

At SDLab, we conduct research on techniques that support software development and design. Especially, while preserving human’s creativity, we focus on engineering supports such as design process, modeling theory of design information and implementation techniques.

Research

At SDLab, we are conducting research on techniques that support software development. Our current research topics include:

  • AI accelerating software development
  • Software development automation achieving NoOps (No Operations)
  • Software analytics pursuing the ideal state of source code and projects

Horikawa presented in the Poset Presentation Track, titled “nderstanding Refactoring in Test Code: An Empirical Study”. This study systematizes and investigates the impact of refactorings that are specific to test code. The analysis revealed 37 types of test-specific refactorings, which were shown to be effective against test smells. Shirai presented in the Poster Presentation Track, titled “Does Programming Language Impact on Fuzz Testing?”. The study investigated the impact of programming languages on fuzzing.
