Qiu, Jingxuan (author)Distributed databases often struggle to fulfill their transactional isolation guarantees due to sharding and replication. As a result, the problem of checking isolation levels is consistently receiving attention from academia and industries. Transactional dependency graphs form a useful abstraction to analyze the transactions’ dependencies and...master thesis 2023

Dekker, Nick (author)Fault injection has been a long-standing technique for testing software. Injecting faults into a system, either in production or development environments, offers unique opportunities to discover bugs that are difficult to reproduce using conventional testing methods. However, it is widely considered to have a high implementation threshold. Due...master thesis 2023

van Dorth tot Medler, Jan (author)Background: For rigorous software testing, integration and end-to-end tests are essential to ensure the expected behavior of multiple interacting components of the system. When software is subjected to integration or end-to-end tests, it is often unfeasible to test every code change individually, as the runtime of these tests is usually...master thesis 2023

Birchler, Christian (author), Khatiri, Sajad (author), Derakhshanfar, P. (author), Panichella, Sebastiano (author), Panichella, A. (author)Testing with simulation environments helps to identify critical failing scenarios for self-driving cars (SDCs). Simulation-based tests are safer than in-field operational tests and allow detecting software defects before deployment. However, these tests are very expensive and are too many to be run frequently within limited time constraints...journal article 2023

Bartlett, A.J. (author), Liem, C.C.S. (author), Panichella, A. (author)Deep learning (DL) models are known to be highly accurate, yet vulnerable to adversarial examples. While earlier research focused on generating adversarial examples using whitebox strategies, later research focused on black-box strategies, as models often are not accessible to external attackers. Prior studies showed that black-box approaches...conference paper 2023

van Meerten, M.C. (author), Kulahcioglu Ozkan, Burcu (author), Panichella, A. (author)Blockchain systems are prone to concurrency bugs due to the nondeterminism in the delivery order of messages between the distributed nodes. These bugs are hard to detect since they can only be triggered by a specific order or timing of concurrent events in the execution. <br/>Systematic concurrency testing techniques, which explore all possible...conference paper 2023
