Nachiappan Nagappan works on Empirical Software Engineering and Measurement (ESM) research at Microsoft Research. His research interests are in the field of software measurement focusing on software metrics, software reliability, failure analysis/prediction and empirical software engineering processes. Prior to his current position he earned his PhD from North Carolina State University in 2005.
My work primarily focuses on large-scale commercial Microsoft systems. Currently my research interest focuses on the application of software measurement and statistical modeling to software. I work on the MetriZone project that is targeted at making early estimates of software quality to predict post-release failures. We are currently focused on the next generation Windows operating system (Vista) leveraging the rich history of in-process and product metrics available from prior versions of the Windows operating system. I also work on measuring test effectiveness and in defect analysis.
