Flaky tests (tests with non-deterministic outcomes) pose a major challenge for software testing. They are known to cause significant issues, such as reducing the effectiveness and efficiency of testing and delaying software releases. In recent ...

• A detailed multivocal review of flaky tests in research and practice.
• Most studies covering test flakiness have focused more on Java.
• Flakiness due to test order dependency and concurrency are widely studied.
• Dynamic rerun-...

Modern software heavily relies on the use of components. Those components are usually published in central repositories, and managed by build systems via dependencies. Due to issues around vulnerabilities, licenses, and the propagation of bugs, the study ...

Dynamic language features are widely available in programming languages to implement functionality that can adapt to multiple usage contexts, enabling reuse. Functionality such as data binding, object-relational mapping and user interface builders can ...

We study a class of denial-of-service (DoS) vulnerabilities that occur in parsing structured data. These vulnerabilities enable low bandwidth DoS attacks with input that causes algorithms to execute in disproportionately large time and/or space. ...

Serialisation related security vulnerabilities have recently been reported for numerous Java applications. Since serialisation presents both soundness and precision challenges for static analysis, it can be difficult for analyses to precisely pinpoint ...

One of the inherent advantages of static analysis is that it can create and reason about models of an entire program. However, mainstream languages such as Java use numerous dynamic language features designed to boost programmer productivity, but these ...
