Andrea Mattavelli

Software engineer, Monday hater, food lover.

I am a Software Engineer at GM Technologies, the leading provider for purchase-by-invoice services in Switzerland.

Previously, I was a Research Associate at Imperial College London (UK) working on symbolic execution in the Software Reliability Group.
I obtained my Ph.D. at Università della Svizzera Italiana (Switzerland) working on software redundancy, automatic program repair, program synthesis, and test oracle generation under the supervision of Antonio Carzaniga and Mauro Pezzè.

Software

ARMOR
ARMOR is a tool that implements automatic runtime recovering for Java.

Cross-Checking Oracles
Cross-Checking Oracles is a technique to generate and execute test oracles that exploits the intrinsic redundancy of the program under test.

KLEE
KLEE is a symbolic virtual machine built on top of the LLVM compiler infrastructure that targets the generation of test cases for high code coverage.
We also developed KLEE-Array, a version of KLEE augmented with a set of semantic-preserving transformations that take advantage of contextual information to speedup array operations.

SBES
SBES is a program synthesis tool that leverages search-based algorithm to automatically generate object-oriented Java code.

SUSHI
SUSHI is a test case generator that combines symbolic execution and search-based techniques to achieve high branch coverage.
