I/UCRC: Software Analytics

拟议的工作旨在将数据分析应用于软件开发过程。分析通常是改变组织行为的数据分析。数据分析在软件工程中的应用相对较新且有限。 建议的研究计划使用五个重要的软件技术，其中每一个已被证明有一个积极的影响，对软件过程和产品，以识别和量化的软件开发模式，其分析将用于更好地理解和改进软件开发过程，建议的工作成果有可能显着影响软件设计和工程过程。由此产生的分析有可能大大提高评估质量、预测可靠性、诊断问题、识别即将发生的故障和真实的实时识别维护程序的能力。这项工作得到了行业咨询委员会以及该中心各个行业成员的支持，并有可能通过扩展到相对较新的软件分析领域来扩展该中心的产品组合。该中心将涉及研究生和本科生的工作，出版和纳入现有的课程软件工程的结果。

The proposed work seeks to apply data analytics to the software development process. An analytic is typically data analysis that changes the behavior of an organization. Application of data analytics to software engineering is relatively new and limited. The proposed research plans to use five significant software technologies, each of which has been shown to have a positive impact on the software process and product, to identify and quantify software development patterns whose analysis will be used to better understand and improve the software development process.The outcomes of the proposed work have the potential for significant impact the software design and engineering process. The resulting analytics have the potential to greatly improve the ability to assess quality, predict reliability, diagnose problems, discern impending faults and identify maintenance procedures in real time. The work is supported by the Industry Advisory Board as well as individual industry members of the center and has the potential to extend the centers portfolio through expansion into the relatively new software analytics area. The center will involve graduate students and undergraduates in the work, publish and incorporate the results in existing coursework software engineering.
