Proseminar: Automated Testing and Debugging
In this proseminar, we explore and evaluate automated techniques for testing and debugging software. We look at a number of classic approaches for generating software tests automatically, for finding errors and locating faults, and for having these two interact with each other.
Seminar: Advanced Fuzzing Techniques
In this seminar, we explore and evaluate automated test generation techniques (fuzzers) and related techniques for their effectiveness and efficiency. We discuss and design evaluation criteria and apply them on a number of techniques from the "Fuzzing Book" (https://www.fuzzingbook.org). Apart from reporting and presenting your results in the seminar, your evaluation results will be included in the book. If the results or techniques are novel (many of them are), we will also strive to publish them as a scientific paper, with you as co-author.
Advanced Lecture: Generating Software Tests
Software has bugs, and catching bugs can involve lots of effort. This course addresses this problem by automating software testing, specifically by generating tests automatically.
