We are happy to announce, that the master thesis A Platform for the Integration of Repository Mining and Software Analytics through Big Data Technologies by Fabian Trautsch was rewarded with the MINT-Award Informatik 2016. The reviewer awarded the thesis by Fabian Trautsch with an award for the best work of all submissions. The MINT-Award Informatik 2016 is awarded by the MINT-Initiative Deutschland, which is a nationwide initiative that wants to contribute to a positive attitude to MINT professions in the public. In his thesis Fabian Trautsch describes the design and development of a platform, which incorporates the mining and the analysis of software projects and present it with an easy to use web interface to the researcher. Furthermore, the platform is designed as a general-purpose platform and uses different big data technologies and frameworks (e.g. Apache Spark, Apache Hadoop) to make an efficient and fast analysis of the mined data possible. Fabian Trautsch was collectively supervised by Dr. Steffen Herbold and Prof. Rieck (TU Braunschweig). 

We are happy to announce that our editorial on Model-based testing as a service is published online first in Springer's International Journal on Software Tools for Technology Transfer. The paper serves as exposition for the special issue MBTCLOUD which is expected to appear in print this summer. The paper is published as open access. 

We are happy to announce that our position paper Model Driven Cloud Orchestration by Combining TOSCA and OCCI is accepted for presentation at the 7th International Conference on Cloud Computing and Services Science (CLOSER 2017). The paper proposes a mapping between TOSCA and OCCI and defines a model driven cloud orchestrator that utilizes both standards.

We are happy to announce that our paper  Reflecting the Adoption of Software Testing Research in Open-Source Projects was accepted at the 10th International Conference on Software Testing, Verification and Validation (ICST 2017). The paper presents a research idea to examine, if software testing research approaches are actually practiced in real open source software projects. Furthermore, the influence on the quality of the project shall be investigated.
 
Update 06.02.17: Fabian Trautsch received gratis registration to the conference and two workshops, plus a travel grant in the amount of $1000 USD for presenting his paper in Tokyo. The funds are available due to a generous grant from Google.
