Welcome
My name is Xavier Devroey. I am an assistant professor of software engineering at the University of Namur, where, together with Benoît Vanderose, we co-lead the SNAIL Team. My research goal is to ease software testing by exploring new paths to achieve a high level of automation for test case design, generation, selection, and prioritization. My main research interests include search-based and model-based software testing, test suite augmentation, DevOps, and variability-intensive systems.
