"Sampling"' as a Baseline Optimizer for Search-based Software Engineering

2016 · arXiv (Cornell University)

Increasingly, Software Engineering (SE) researchers use search-based optimization techniques to solve SE problems with multiple conflicting objectives. These techniques often apply CPU-intensive evolutionary algorithms to explore generations of mutations to a population of candidate solutions. …

Learning to Learn to Predict Performance Regressions in Production at Meta

2023

Catching and attributing code change-induced performance regressions in production is hard; predicting them beforehand, even harder. A primer on automatically learning to predict performance regressions in software, this article gives an account of the experiences …
