Software Research Lab

The Software Research Lab is a research group in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Saskatchewan. The lab was founded in 2003, and since then it has been involved with the development of techniques and tools to better support software development and maintenance activities.

 

Current research projects include but are not limited to code clone detection/analysis/management, change impact analysis, software visualization and navigation, static analysis of bugs, mining unstructured data,  software evolution analysis, human aspects of software engineering, and technical debt. The lab is involved in two Canada First Research Excellence Fund (CFREF) awards: (1) Global Water Futures: Solutions to Water Threats in an Era of Global Change and (2) Designing Crops for Global Food Security.
