The vision of the TAU research group aims at making software testing activities partially or fully automated. The main research directions that are currently being investigated include: (1) search based test case generation; (2) system level, end-to-end test case construction, in particular in the web domain; (3) test oracle assessment and improvement; (4) test of unexpected environment conditions, especially in the domain of Artificial Intelligence based systems. Most of the ongoing research is part of the European Research Council project Precrime.

CodeLounge is a center for software research & development, part of the Software Institute at Università della Svizzera Italiana. CodeLounge has two main goals: (1) push research ideas beyond prototypes, making real products out of them, and (2) carry out applied research in the areas of software development, visualization, evolution, and analytics. The encapsulation of CodeLounge within the Software Institute enables collaborating closely with research groups and fostering interdisciplinary projects.
