Test Program-Based Generative Fuzzing for Differential Testing of the Kotlin Compiler

Kotlin is a programming language best known for its interoperability with Java, as well as the measurable improvements it offers over it. Since it became Android’s go-to language in 2019, the popularity and impact of Kotlin have risen greatly. Amidst this surge in popularity, the Kotlin developer team is working on a new version of the compiler...

In-IDE code generation models - a literature review

Code generation is becoming one of the most important tools in an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for programmers, be they novices or experts. It allows them to produce code faster, avoid typos and other mistakes, be more efficient and easily turn ideas into code. As such, there are many in-IDE code generation models to choose from,...

Testing Code Generators against Definitional Interpreters

Large companies suffer from the increasing complexity that exist in their software systems. Evolving their software becomes even harder if we consider that a change in one system can affect several other parts of their software architecture. Especially banks that need to be always complied with regulations, have to constantly make changes in...

Lunar Zebro - Software Design Of The Locomotion Sub-System With The Dezyne Model Driven Development Tool

The TU Delft ZEs-Benige RObot (Zebro) project is presented with the opportunity to bring the Zebro concept to the surface of our moon. To maximise the probability of success, the Locomotion Sub-System (LSS) software of Lunar Zebro is developed using a novel model-driven design tool called Dezyne. Dezyne uses a proprietary language to describe...

MATLAB to Fixed-Point C Code Generation and its Application to Real-Time Heartbeat Detection

MATLAB is a popular very-high-level-language used for visualizing, prototyping and perform- ing design-space exploration of algorithms. But, this flexibility comes at the price of high memory consumption and slow execution times, making it unsuitable for use in an embedded system. The possibility of using Embedded MATLAB (EML), a small subset of...
