Title: The Joys and Frustrations of Software Engineering
Date: 10/23/2019
ABSTRACT
In this talk I will talk about research and deployment work on source code analysis, testing and SBSE, which I have undertaken with the many wonderful collaborators, colleagues and friends; my personal view on the joys of scientific research and the excitement of deployment, but also the frustrations of both. I think frustration is important and needs to be acknowledged, because often leads to further insights and development and is, thereby, the root cause of future joys.
SPEAKER
Mark Harman
Engineering Manager and Professor, Facebook and University College London
Mark Harman works full time at Facebook London and also holds a part-time professorship at UCL. At Facebook, he managed the team that deployed Sapienz to test mobile apps, leading to thousands of bugs being automatically found and in multimillion line communications and social media apps in daily use by over 1.4Bn people worldwide. He co-founded the field of SBSE, a research area with authors spread over more than 40 countries, and is also known for work on source code analysis, software testing, app store analysis and empirical software engineering. He received the IEEE Harlan Mills Award and the ACM Outstanding Research Award in 2019 for this work. In addition to Facebook itself, Mark's scientific work is supported by the European Research Council (ERC), with an advanced fellowship grant, and has also been supported by the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), for example, with platform and program grants.
