How collaboration process gives meaning to quality.
Hello! I'm Avinash Bhat.
I am a PhD student in the Software Technology Lab at School of Computer Science, McGill University, advised by Professor Jin Guo. Broadly, my research interest is about how software practitioners create knowledge while collaborating in software teams. As part of this research, I am investigating existing documentation practices and developing tools to help practitioners create documentation.
