1. Name of Research Group: Human Aspects in Software Engineering

 

  1. Introduction of Research Group:

Software development is inherently a complex activity. Human aspects play an important role in software engineering discipline. There is a strong need to understand “humans” involved in software development process as well as the end users. In the context of software development activities like estimation and team management are dependent on human factors and a deep understanding of obstacles and problems can help in improving these processes.  Furthermore, due to emerging paradigms of end user development where end users also take up the role of software enhancement, the need for understanding human aspects has become more critical. At this group we are not only looking at the impact of human factors in development teams but also on end users. Our research mainly contributes in the disciplines of software engineering, computer supported cooperative work and human computer interaction.
