Title: Automatic testing of object-oriented software
Abstract: Contracts provide specifications for software, which can be used to facilitate automatic testing. In this lecture, we'll discuss the basic idea of contract-based random testing, as well as techniques to improve its effectiveness. Topics include test case generation based on object distance, precondition satisfaction through guided object selection, contract inference and test case extraction during debugging.

Title: The Testing Process at Google
Abstract:
Testing is an integral part of the software development process at Google. This lecture will explain the purpose and the scope of testing at Google. It will cover the relationship between testing and software development, providing examples of testing technologies currently used.

Weekly software engineering group meetings

We hold our weekly research meetings on Wednesday, 14-16, in IFW E42. These are not formal seminars but technical presentations and discussions, sometimes boring, sometimes wild and sometimes in-between, of ongoing work, with widely varying depth, degree of completion, and topic. Visitors are welcome.
