Less than two weeks to the abstract deadline for the ICSME main track! We are looking forward to receive your submissions!!! IEEE ICSME 2025 Nikos Tsantalis

Following his MSR 2025 foundational award, we are excited to host Bram Adams MCIS lab seminar about his contribution on release engineering (July 7th EDT 10 AM). The registration is free and open to everyone. Please fill in your info to register forms.gle/VaSWfL4u2aUPGc…

My lab SPEAR Lab has a 2-year postdoc position in Software Engineering Concordia University Montreal Canada. We work on many exciting areas like #AIOps #testing #SE4AI #AI4SE and many more! Starts ASAP. Retweet🙏 Check out the link for more info😀 docs.google.com/document/d/1YE… CS Faculty Jobs

In the 2nd paper: How Disabled Tests Manifest in Test Maintainability Challenges? Many tests are disabled for years (although initially helped reveal faults) or deleted without fixing. We also summarize the reasons for disabling. petertsehsun.github.io/papers/fse2021… Jinqiu Yang djaekim

The webinar videos of #SEMLA2021 are now available on YouTube! youtube.com/playlist?list=… Thanks again to all speakers and attendees!!

We are very excited to host Prof Alexander Serebrenik Alexander Serebrenik distinguished seminar about Emotions and Perceived Productivity of Software Developers at the Workplace (September 14th EDT 10 AM). The registration is free and open to everyone. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

From the ICSE 2022 reviewer guidelines: “Do not reject papers because the novel idea is simple. ‘Simple’ does not equate with ‘trivial’ – some of the best ideas are simple. Assess their novelty.” docs.google.com/presentation/d…

Yay! “DiffWatch: Watch Out for the Evolving Differential Testing in Deep Learning Libraries” was accepted to ICSE 2022 tool demo! Big congrats to the undergraduate student author Alexander who was supported by the wonderful Mitacs Globalink Internship (Mitacs).

1/2 Two emsejournal presentations accepted ICSE! Hopefully can be my students' first in-person conference🤧djaekim An Ran Chen Paper1: "the secret life of test smells" studies why developers address test smells in project evolution Jinqiu Yang petertsehsun.github.io/papers/TestSme…

A super framework on auto-generating performance tests from a collaboration with these cool people!

Prof. Jinqiu Yang from Concordia University talked about "Understanding and testing the complexities of autonomous driving systems" +#qualityassurance on #ADS needs to consider both software and AI +More research is needed for testing and #qualityassurance of model integration. #SEMLA2022

The deadline for the Student Research Competition FSE 2025'23 is coming up: June 15th! Send along your (or encourage your students to send along) excellent work for presentation to the community 😀. More details: 2023.esec-fse.org/track/fse-2023…

The boundary between software and AI is fuzzier than ever. Still, my paper on testing ML models&AIOps got desk-rejected by ASE 2024's industry track. Why? "ASE...does not call for perf. of ML models" despite 4 sessions in ASE23 on testing AI&1 industry paper on AutoML.🤔#ASE2024

Jinqiu Yang ASE 2024 It's hard to believe! ASE 2024 has consistently accepted similar works on AI testing and AIOps. Rejecting a paper saying such a topic is out of ASE's scope seems off 🤔, especially given their track record.

I was told this is tightening the scope of ASE to strict "software", works such as deeptest and deepgauge would be out of scope too. Just wait and see papers at the research track Of ASE 24. Track bias? Who knows . Clearly lack of transparency and consistency.

This decision is pure subjective and full of biases, one person's call, and not even double-blind!

How to automate code review? From machine learning models to ChatGPT, it all started with this year's MIP award "Who should review my code"? Still, many challenges and exciting work ahead!

Code evolution is more important than ever in the era of AI programmer, and the key is in code DIFFs. Nikolaos Tsantalis from Concordia University Gina Cody School of Engineering & Computer Science is introducing a new line of research and open-source tools on code differencing #SE4LLM #Copilot #SANER2025

Decades of research in extracting code DIFFs, from ChangeDistiller, to GumTree, now we have RMiner3, developed by Nikolaos Tsantalis (Concordia University Gina Cody School of Engineering & Computer Science). RMiner3 is open-source and you can call it from Github repos/commits directly! #SANER2025 #Keynote #githubactions

Greatly enjoyed my time at IEEE SANER as a volunteer co-chair. Truly grateful to work with such a talented and passionate younger generation of SE researchers as SANER volunteers. Cannot wait to see all of you continue to grow in this wonderful community!
