Development of software systems and improvement of the software quality of complex systems.
Situated within Ontario Tech, the Software Engineering and Education Research (SEER) Lab aims towards ground-breaking revelations in the field of computer science. The lab primarily focuses on improving the software quality of complex systems through enhanced development practices, tools and education.
The lab’s primary focuses include addressing industry relevant challenges, the automation of software development activities involving artificial intelligence, and the development of new software testing and analysis techniques. In addition, it conducts experimentation and user studies to understand how developers analyze, debug and test software, and develops new methods to train software developers.
The SEER Lab is currently working on an array of innovative projects that seek to improve on understanding and improvement of science.
The Software Engineering and Education Research (SEER) Lab has the capability to provide the following services:
- Testing and analysis of software systems.
- Advice on the use of AI and machine learning in software development practices.
- Prototyping and development of educational games for computer science and developer upskilling.
- User studies of both software development tools and educational computer science software.
- Education
- Information and communication technologies and media
- Professional and technical services (including legal services, architecture, engineering)
