Research Interests

My research activity is in the area of Software Engineering and in particular is mainly focused to the following topics: (i) Software Testing, (ii) Software Metrics, (iii) Software Maintenance and Evolution. My research is focused on flaky tests, tests that exhibit both a passing and failing behavior when run against the same code. This problem affects both research and industry and the researcher are looking automated approach to address and detect flaky tests.
