Metrics

Vision

All Software Center companies have efficient product development, release and deployment processes.

Mission

We help the companies to design and develop modern measurement methods and tools by utilizing state-of-the-art analytics, AI and machine learning.

We use Action Research to increase the impact and adoption of the results (Action Research in Software Engineering), i.e., we work on-site of the companies.

Over the course of ten years of our collaboration, our theme has resulted in over 50 models and tools. We have also published over 200 papers and books that disseminate the results to the public domain.

Examples of the metrics designed and introduced to the companies:

  • Is Quantum the next big thing for the masses? May 9, 2025
    But what is quantum computing? (Grover’s Algorithm) If you are looking at the quantum computing, and you are a programmer, people start “dumbing-it-down” for you with telling about superpositions and multiple bits in one. Well, not entirely true and this is a misconception. In this video, the author explains how quantum works, based on the […]

  • Do we need a large model to generate good code? May 2, 2025
    arxiv.org/pdf/2504.07343 Code generation in all forms, from solving problems to test case creation, adversarial testing, fixing security vulnerability, is super-popular in contemporary software engineering. It helps the engineers to be more efficient in their work, and it helps the managers to get more out of the resources at their disposal. However, there is a bit […]

  • Requirements and AI April 16, 2025
    The last few months took a lot of my energy to transit from administrative duties to more research oriented ones. Although I like blogging a lot, there was simply no time left for that. Well, I did write and there will be a new book coming out soon, so here is a preview of what […]

  • New kids on the block, or are they? March 18, 2025
    A bit of a different blog post today. I’ve just finished a course that I teach to 2nd year undergraduate students – embedded and real-time software systems. I love to see how my students grow from not knowing anything about C to programming embedded systems with interrupts, serial communication between two Arduinos and using preprocessor […]

  • Agents, agents, better agents… January 22, 2025
    Image by Aberrant Realities from Pixabay Introducing smolagents: simple agents that write actions in code. In the work with generative AI, there is a constant temptation to let the AI take over and do most of the jobs. There are even ways to do that in software engineering, for example by linking the code generation […]
