Today we had a successful 8th IEEE Int’l Workshop on Next Level of Test Automation (#NEXTA2025). Highlights included: ✅ KEYNOTE by Serge Demeyer ✅ TALKS - Influence of Pure & Unit-Like Tests on SBFL - Witness Test Program Generation - Adaptive Testing for LLM-Based Applications ✅ DISCUSSION!

SEER Lab’s Jeremy Bradbury & Riddhi More are in Naples, Italy 🇮🇹 attending the 18th IEEE Int’l Conference on Software Testing, Verification and Validation (#ICST2025) where they are presenting two research papers. Dr. Bradbury is also a member of the faculty panel at the ICST Doctoral Symposium.
