What are some of the biggest challenges that software developers face in this area? How does your research help software developers address those challenges? What advice do you give to software engineers that want to create secure software? You co-wrote a book on Pair Programming, and you have also written many papers related to Agile Software Development. In fact, 9 out of your 10 most cited works on Google Scholar are related to Agile. How did you get interested in Agile Software Development? How did you get interested in Computer Science? How was your education in the area? Did you face difficulties at school or work because you are a woman? Do you participate in any support groups for women in Computing? What would you say to girls or women that want to follow a career in Computing? For you, what is the next frontier in software engineering? (it can be something that you think will happen or something you would like to see happening in our field) Would you like to leave some final words for our audience?
