Abstract: People were using the notion of quality for as long as they live, and software engineers are not an exception. Our goal is to introduce a concept of quality as a first class entity that can be used to facilitate the software evolution process. Last year we have presented ViDI - a Visual Design Inspector. Now we want to present QualityAssistant - a tool which assists you with a quality of your code right when you are working with it. QualityAssistant is based on an idea that each code entity should be able to tell about it’s quality, and the ways to improve it.

Bio: I'm a Ph.D. student at the University of Lugano (USI) in the Faculty of Informatics. I am working under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Michele Lanza, in the REVEAL research group. My main topic is software quality and how do you embed it in an object oriented system. In the past I worked as a network administrator at ISP, Java and Ruby developer in two software companies and ran a freelance web development teem. Now I am Pharo evangelist, and also I promote collaboration with outer world in Ukrainian universities where I am originally from.
