BASE

Referência: PTDC/CCI-INF/31581/2017

Acrónimo: BASE

Objetivo temático: Reforçar a investigação, o desenvolvimento tecnológico e a inovação

Área Científica: Computer and Information Sciences

Síntese do Projeto: The main goal of BASE is to research software faults (bugs) in a new perspective using neuroscience, physiological response and software reliability engineering in a tight interdisciplinary approach to understand the brain mechanisms involved in software error making and error discovery, in particular code errors due to lack of attention during logical reasoning. This neuroscience-informed biosensing approach will allow the establishment of predictive relationships between brain activity related to bug making/discovery and measurable body response monitored by current wearable devices, in order to identifying conditions (and corresponding code locations) that may precipitate programmers making bugs or bugs escaping human attention. The BASE Biofeedback Augmented Software Engineering approach will allow online bug warning, calling programmers attention to code areas that need a second look, and will establish radically new software testing strategies and bug prediction models.
