Building quality software is expensive and software quality assurance (QA) budgets are limited. Data miners can learn defect predictors from static code features which can be used to control QA resources; e.g. to focus on the parts of the code predicted to be more defective. Recent results show that better data mining technology is not [...]

About a month ago, I have joined the Department of Information Processing Science at the University of Oulu in Finland, as a researcher (though I will participate in teaching activities as well). It feels good to be back in the university! After spending significant number of days for new-comer’s-bureaucracy-to-a-new-country, I am getting ready for the [...]
