Huayao Wu

I am currently an Associate Researcher at Department of Computer Science and Technology, Nanjing University. I am also part of the Group in Software Testing (GIST). My current research interest lies in the area of software testing and maintenance, where I am interested in solving software development problems by techniques that exploit artificial and human crowd intelligence.

I received my PhD degree from Nanjing University in June 2018, under the supervision of Professor Changhai Nie. I have been a visiting student at CREST of University College London (UCL), from September 2016 to August 2017. My supervisors in CREST are Professor Justyna Petke and Mark Harman.

Software Testing (Autumn 2020-2021)
This course is concerned with concepts, techniques, and applications of software testing, which especially covers a broad range of popular and powerful testing techniques. The desired learning outcome is to be able to use multiple (automated) testing techniques to effectivelly test and evaluate given software systems.

The CitHub project aims to establish an open platform for studying and using Combinatorial Interaction Testing (CIT) approaches. Currently, it offer a collection of web services and applications, including:

Repository

A web application that provides a full coverage of publications in the literature of combinatorial interaction testing.
