Wayne Zage and Dolores Zage are professors in the Computer Science Department at Ball State University. They have been conducting research in the Software Engineering Research Center since 1986. Their research in design metrics and models has led to the Zages' design metrics being used at SERC industrial sites as indicators of good software design, to identify fault-prone modules during the design phase of development, and as indicators of where to place effort during software testing. Most recently, they have applied their metrics technology to assess the reliability and security of software systems. Wayne and Dolores Zage received the Alexander Schwarzkopf Prize for Technological Innovation from the National Science Foundation Association in 2007 for their Software Design Metrics.
