Andrea Janes

Andrea Janes is a Professor at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Department of Computer Science. She specializes in software engineering, with a focus on microservices architecture, performance engineering, and agile methodologies. Her work bridges theoretical research and practical applications, addressing challenges in software maintainability, scalability, and developer productivity.

Her research interests span microservices architecture design, technical debt management, and sensor-based systems in sports technology. She has organized major conferences like ESOCC 2025 and PROFES 2023, reflecting her leadership in academic and industrial collaborations. Recent projects include empirical studies on microservice ownership, organizational coupling in open-source projects, and software aging detection in virtual networks.

Publications from 2025 highlight her contributions to anti-pattern correlation in microservices, rejuvenation strategies, and developer collaboration dynamics. Her work on impermanent identifiers (2024) enhances source code comprehension, while sensor-enhanced quickdraws for climbing (2023-2024) demonstrate cross-disciplinary innovation.

Janes has been cited over 117 times and actively contributes to workshops on performance engineering (WEPPE25) and gender equality in software engineering (GE@ICSE). Her research emphasizes practical tools like CATTO for test case selection and PPTAM for scalability assessment.
