Human-centric Software Engineering

I have always been very interested in various "human" aspects of software engineering. These include but are certainly not limited to e.g.

• Ways to diversify software teams

• Impact of end user human aspects on software engineering and the impact of developer human aspects on software engineering

• Personality impact e.g. for pair programming and testing

• Impact of team climate on software teams

• Usability especially usability defect reporting

• Performance appraisal and SE tasks

• Human-centric modelling tools

• Proactive help for modellers/designers/engineers e.g. design critics

• Human-centric requirements engineering

• Incorporating more human aspects into requirements and design e.g. emotions

• Project management especially human aspects
