Research - Have Research Your Way

A typical problem with software engineering research is that either it is difficult to find companies that provide reasonable research possibilities or the research is made with students in artificial environments. Software Factory provides a solution for this problem. In Software Factory you can do research in a very authentic environment. Most of the participants in Software Factory projects are students but the environment is very business-like:

• The team works constantly together just like in a real work place.
• There is always a real business demand behind the project, which makes the project context valid for research.
• Researchers can observe the team members any time and even participate in the projects if participant observation is considered useful.
