.Giovanni Grano is about to present his IEEE ICSME 2026 paper on the perception and measurability of unit test code quality. (/w Fabio Palomba, Christian De Iaco, @hcgall) Join Testing II at 09:10 UTC in Room I #icsme2020

We built a linter that spots the presence of configuration smells in #ContinuousDelivery pipelines assembled with 🦊 GitLab. Join the discussion about our paper on #Reddit (tinyurl.com/cd-linter, w/ Sebastian Proksch @anna_jancso @hcgall Max Di Penta). #esecfse #DevOps #cicd

I will present our paper on reducing the execution time of #JMH microbenchmarks without sacrificing their result quality today at FSE 2025. Be sure to drop by at the session on Performance / QoS starting at 17:30 UTC #esecfse #fse2020 ESEC/FSE 2021 youtube.com/watch?v=DNOPGK…

Join us on November 19 for our virtual event all about #ContinuousTesting! You’ll get to hear from Carmine Vassallo on getting continuous testing done right. Register today, you won’t want to miss #SKILupDay👉 bit.ly/SKILupCT

Software microbenchmarking in the cloud. How bad is it really?. Christoph Laaber, Joel Scheuner, Philipp Leitner rdcu.be/b6tqX

A big chapter is about to end. Today, I officially submitted my dissertation! Hope my committee will enjoy it :)

Two centimeters of pure joy ;) Delighted to have submitted my PhD dissertation

Call to action! Help our master student @TimZemp with his study on meaningful CI/CD configurations. Check it out at classifier.tzemp.ch

You have crossed this finish line too. Congrats Dr. Giovanni Grano! 🏁

Your (not only sw) performance was outstanding! Congrats Dr. Christoph Laaber

We are seeking #js #dev to participate in a 2h study (and earn a 25 CHF gift card). We're evaluating a Visual Studio Code extension we've built that helps users manage relevant websites in VS Code. During the study, we will work on two programming tasks and talk about the extension.

New article on neural code search accepted at IEEE ICSME 2026! Checkout Jian Gu’s first paper (and start following him)! #icsme21

The final remaining puzzle of my PhD "Applying Test Case Prioritization to Software Microbenchmarks" was just published open-access by emsejournal. Thanks to my PhD advisors and co-authors Philipp Leitner (@[email protected]) and @hcgall 🎉🥳🙌💪 doi.org/10.1007/s10664…

Hey! We at s.e.a.l. and ZEST are looking for new Ph.D. students and postdocs for a range of software engineering topics in the UZH Software Lab at the University of Zurich. If you are interested, you find more information here: t.uzh.ch/1g9

Congrats to @MEPalma98 for his first paper "On-the-Fly Syntax Highlighting Using Neural Networks," feat. @hcgall and I, which has been accepted at FSE 2025 2022! We'll share a preprint soon.

A new paper by s.e.a.l. has been accepted at IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering! "On the Effectiveness of Transfer Learning for Code Search" explores the use of BERT to improve code search for three programming languages. A preprint will follow soon.

The preprint of “On-the-Fly Syntax Highlighting using Neural Networks” (FSE 2025 2022) is now available on arXiv: arxiv.org/abs/2208.02815
