Via La Santa, 1
Lugano, Switzerland
I work in the TAU Lab on the project PRECRIME (ERC Advanced grant) led by Prof. Paolo Tonella.
My research mainly targets DL- and web-based software system testing with empirical methods. My current interests involve monitoring techniques and automated functional oracles for DL-based systems, with a particular focus on autonomous vehicles.
My current and past topics are:
- Testing AI-based systems
[TSE 2022, ASE 2022, JSEP 2021, ICST 2021, ICSE 2020, EMSE 2020, ISSREW 2020] - Grey literature analysis
[SOFSEM 2021, ICSTW 2021] - Studies of JS bugs
[ICST 2019, STVR 2020] - Computer vision for Software Engineering
[TSE 2020, ESEC/FSE 2018, STVR 2017, SAC 2015, SCAM 2014] - Near-duplicate detection in web app models
[ICSE 2020] - Assertion-preserving test minimization
[ICSE 2018] - Web test generation
[ICST 2020, ESEC/FSE 2019] - Web test repair
[FSE 2016, ESEC/FSE 2018] - Web test robustness
[JSEP 2016, ICST 2015, SBST 2015, ISSREW 2014, WSE 2013] - Web test maintainability
[SQJ 2017, ICWE 2016, AST 2015]
