Welcome to the Software Engineering and System Engineering (SENSE) Lab

SENSE lab

Welcome to the Software Engineering and System Engineering (SENSE) Lab at the University of Waterloo. In the lab we carry out research in the areas of software engineering for ultra-large-scale systems, software log mining, empirical software engineering, mining software repositories and performance engineering.

The work performed addresses questions such as:

  • How to debug and verify software systems in the large scale field environment?
  • Can we identify performance issues in ultra-large-scale systems?
  • How to improve logging practice in software development and operation?
  • What can we learn from the past software development (source code and bugs) and operation history (performance reports and field failures)?
  • How to scale software engineering research to cope with big data?
