Scientific Software Testing Goes Serverless: Creating and Invoking Metamorphic Functions
Lin X, Simon M and Niu N
Our function-as-a-service (FaaS) framework transformed end users' questions into automated tests for scientific software. Our case study illustrates the FaaSification of scientific software testing and the importance of value-driven evaluations by focusing on real-world defect detection.
Caring: An Undiscovered "Super Ility" of Smart Healthcare
Laplante N, Laplante P and Voas J
As new and exciting applications emerge using smart technologies, the Internet of Things, data analytics, and others for healthcare, a critical problem is emerging: the potential loss of caring.
