The goal of the proposed CREATE Software Analytics Research (SOAR) program is to train HQP in the area of Software Analytics in collaboration with our industrial partners. Software analytics can enrich every software development activity with insights extracted from past projects and the enormous amounts of data that are generated throughout the software lifecycle, from requirements specifications, design documents, and source code to bug reports, test cases, run-time logs/traces, user feedback, developer communication, discussions in large crowdsourced platforms (e.g., Stack Overflow) or even in source-code repositories (e.g., GitHub). By exploring this data one can gain insights into the quality of the software and its functionality, can pinpoint usability problems, can assess software-development dynamics, and devise effective solutions for challenging tasks. Although software analytics is an important area of research in both academia and industry, there are no specific graduate programs in Canada targeted at developing software-analytics skills to produce the software professionals that our software industry so direly needs. SOAR will offer students who wish to work in software analytics the first Canadian industrially-grounded, academically-driven, graduate-level experiential learning program. The SOAR program will advance software technology and train HQP to help ensure that software being developed is usable, reliable, sustainable, scalable, secure, and cost-effective.

拟议的创建软件分析研究（SOAR）计划的目标是与我们的工业合作伙伴合作培训软件分析领域的HQP。软件分析可以通过从过去的项目中提取的见解以及整个软件生命周期中生成的大量数据，从需求规格，设计文档和源代码到错误报告，测试案例/运行时日志/运行时日志，跟踪，用户反馈，开发人员通信，大型众包平台（例如堆栈溢出）甚至源代码存储库中的讨论（例如GitHub）。通过探索这些数据，人们可以深入了解软件质量及其功能，可以确定可用性问题，可以评估软件开发动态，并为具有挑战性的任务设计有效的解决方案。尽管软件分析是学术界和行业研究的重要领域，但加拿大没有特定的研究生课程，旨在开发软件分析技能，以生产我们软件行业非常需要的软件专业人员。 SOAR将为希望在软件分析中工作的学生提供第一个以工业为基础的，学术驱动的研究生级的体验式学习计划。 SOAR计划将推进软件技术并培训HQP，以帮助确保开发的软件可用，可靠，可持续，可扩展，安全和成本效益。
