Unit profile
Description
SERG at Lund University in one of the main research groups for empirical software engineering in Sweden, with focus on industrial scale engineering of software-intensive systems. The research aims to explore and improve methods and tools for Requirements Engineering, Testing and Reviews, Software Process Quality, System Safety, and Software Management. We also study aspects of the Digital Society in cross faculty settings. The research is conducted in close collaboration with industry using Empirical Methods, including surveys, experiments and case studies.
