SUSOFT: Software Engineering Research Group at Sabanci University
 
 

The broad research interest of SUSOFT is on programmer productivity. We develop practical techniques and tools to help programmers create cheaper, faster, and more reliable software systems.


Our current research interests include, but not limited to: Combinatorial interaction testing, combining hardware and software instrumentation, systematic testing of multithreaded applications, and software security testing.
