About

Stefan Forssander is a researcher and practitioner whose work centers on software engineering processes, with a particular focus on problem reporting, analysis, and resolution in industrial settings. His major contribution lies in documenting and analyzing the state of practice of software problem management at ABB Robotics AB, providing a detailed case study of how a structured corrective maintenance process can help organizations retain control over software development and maintenance. His most-cited paper, "Software problem reporting and resolution process at ABB Robotics AB: state of practice," has accumulated 18 citations, with a related version receiving an additional 7 citations, underscoring its relevance to both academia and industry. This work is notable for bridging the gap between theoretical process models and real-world implementation, offering practical insights for software engineers and project managers dealing with quality assurance and maintenance challenges. Forssander’s research is particularly valuable for students and professionals interested in software process improvement, corrective maintenance, and the operational realities of managing software defects in complex industrial environments.
