AVATAR is an SNSF funded project on automated coverage-based testing.

Only few of the many structural coverage criteria studied in academia find common application in industrial practice, due to both the scarce availability of automated support for generating test suites with high coverage and the penalizing impact of infeasible program elements. This project aims to define a new generation of structural testing approaches to automatically generate test suites with high structural coverage, and correctly account for a relevant number of infeasible elements of the coverage domain.

This project will suitably exploit the combination of dynamic and static analysis techniques.

RESERVOIR: Resources and Services Virtualization without Barriers

RESERVOIR is a European Union FP7 funded project that will enable massive scale deployment and management of complex IT services across different administrative domains, IT platforms and geographies by providing a foundation for a service-based online economy, using virtualization technologies, transparently provisioned and managed on an on-demand basis at competitive costs with high quality of service.

Project partners include:

• IBM Haifa Research Lab
• Telefónica Investigación y Desarrollo
• University College of London
• Umeå University
• SAP Research
• Sun Microsystems
• Thales
• Elsag Datamat
• Universidad Complutense de Madrid
• Cetic
• University of Messina
• The OGF.eeig standards organization

Financial support is provided by the European Community’s Seventh Framework Programme ([FP7/2001-2013]) under grant agreement no. 215605 (RESERVOIR).

The STAR group at USI designs and maintains the Implicit SLA Protection and Monitoring capabilities of the RESERVOIR framework. Learn more on the RESERVOIR web site and watch the recorded demo!
