Abstract:

In this talk I will discuss research and deployment work on source code analysis, testing and SBSE, which I have undertaken with many wonderful collaborators, colleagues and friends; my personal view on the joys of scientific research and the excitement of deployment, but also the frustrations of both. I think frustration is important and needs to be acknowledged, because it often leads to further insights and development and is, thereby, the root cause of future joys. I will allow plenty of time for questions and discussion. This talk is a version of the award plenary talk given at ICSE 2019. Following the lecture, please join us for a drinks reception in the Jeremy Bentham Room, Wilkins Building to celebrate Mark being awarded the IEEE CS Harlan Mills award 2019. Date And Time:
Tue, 2 July 2019
