Research

The Software Improvement Group is actively engaged in research and innovation. This enables us to offer continuous expertise in all aspects of this dynamic field, to deliver the latest products and services, and to maintain our lead over the competition.  Innovation is the key to our success.

Our research themes include:

  • Software metrics
    We develop and study numerical software quality metrics.
  • Quality standards
    We develop methods for assessing the quality of software in the context of quality guidelines such as ISO 9126.
  • Software structure
    We develop generic technologies to map out the interdependencies between system elements at source code and architecture level. This enables us to extract, analyse, manipulate and visualise software structures.
  • Tests
    To map out general software reliability, we conduct research into testing techniques and objective methods to assess the application of these techniques.

Our R&D activities focus both on short-term projects with instant market potential as well as those with more fundamental, long-term goals.
