After working to improve the quality of our codebase at work, I thought it would be interesting to get alerts when people published papers on software engineering. You can search papers on Google scholar (on any subject) or citeseer (computer science), but neither appear to have RSS feeds. If you don't know what RSS is, there's a description here. A lot of things will read it, e.g. IE7, firefox, and bloglines.
I found a site that lets you create an RSS feed from any page using really simple regular expressions (it took me about half an hour to set up the initial feed).
I made an RSS feed to search citeseer for papers that mention unit testing. I doubt there will be frequent results, so I'll probably have to set some up for several different queries.
If anyone wants to try it, I can send you the settings I used for citeseer.
If you prefer email alerts to RSS, you can also use feedblitz to turn RSS into email.
