  • Lunch seminar: Exploring the cognitive processes used by testers

    Welcome to the last brown-bag seminar of 2020! Title: Exploring the cognitive processes used by testers Abstract: In theme one Eduard Paul Enoiu from Mälardalen University has been working towards a cognitive model of software testing based on how problem solving is conceptualized in cognitive psychology. This approach instantiates a general problem solving process for the specific problem of creating test cases in automated testing. A preliminary study led to

  • Lunch seminar: “For a few dollars more… we forgot our process”

    Virtual event , Sweden

    Title: "For a few dollars more... we forgot our process" Speaker: Antonio Martini Description: Process improvement might be down-prioritized exactly like software quality. Besides the well-known Technical Debt, we should also pay attention to possibly dangerous Process Debt.

  • Lunch seminar: Privacy-aware machine learning method: Federated Learning

    Virtual event , Sweden

    Presenter: Hongyi Zhang, PhD student, Chalmers Federated Learning is an improved Machine Learning approach which enables edge devices to collaboratively learn a shared machine learning model. The data exchanged between the edge and central server are no longer user data but the updated model weights. Furthermore, as this model training method is distributed, there are chances to make the model become smarter and adapt to their environment. (For example, devices

  • Lunch seminar: Optimized Scheduling of Feature-Based Test Execution

    As test suites grow larger and more complex, the time and resources required to execute the test suite also grows accordingly. This is particularly true for companies developing diverse product lines, who must execute portions of the test suite on compatible hardware units with the features required by those test cases. We have recently begun to explore the topic of how to efficiently parallelize the execution of test cases across

  • Lunch seminar: Data Labeling

    Virtual event , Sweden

    Data Labeling: Industrial Challenges and Mitigation Strategies Labels are a prerequisite to perform supervised machine learning. However, in industrial contexts, data is often incomplete because labels are missing partially or entirely. Even if there exist manual, semi-automatic, and automatic techniques, such as crowdsourcing, active-learning (AL), and semi-supervised learning (SSL), we have seen that AL and SSL are rarely implemented due to lack of knowledge of their existence. Furthermore, labeling instances
