The reliability of its software systems has a direct_x000D_
impact on the quality of banking services received by Canadians both locally and internationally, hence_x000D_
National Bank would like to ensure the quality of their software systems. Prior work has shown that data,_x000D_
stored in common tools, such as bug trackers and source code control tools can be leveraged to help ensure the_x000D_
high quality of software systems. Therefore, the goal of this proposal is to develop analytics and models, based_x000D_
on National Bank's data, to help them identify phenomena that negatively impacts the quality of their software_x000D_
systems and empirically validate the developed analytics and models. To achieve this objective, we plan to_x000D_
address three main sub-objectives 1) we plan to develop a framework to ingest, preprocess and link data_x000D_
collected by National Bank's software development tools; 2) we plan to perform data analysis and create_x000D_
analytics from software repository data; 3) we plan to empirically validate the effectiveness of the developed_x000D_
analytics and models in detecting software quality issues. If successful, the outcome of the proposed research_x000D_
will help put National Bank above its competitors, who in some cases are big players such as Bank of America,_x000D_
JPMorgan Chase and HSBC. This will, in turn, strengthen the Canadian position in the aforementioned areas_x000D_
that the bank operates in, which are some of the most impacting areas of the Canadian economy., program purpose french : National Bank of Canada is one the largest Canadian Banks. The reliability of its software systems has a direct_x000D_
