About Us
The Software Lab is a research group in the Department of Computer Science of TU Darmstadt led by Michael Pradel. Our research focuses on tools and techniques for building reliable, efficient, and secure software. To this end, we work on testing and analysis of complex software systems. As part of our research, we have contributed to techniques that detected thousands of bugs in widely used software.
Research Highlights
JavaScript and Web Applications
Dynamic analyses and test generation techniques to detect performance and correctness problems in JavaScript-based web applications.
ICSE'18, PLDI'17, ICSE'16
Machine Learning for Program Analysis
Instead of developing program analyses by hand, learn them from large corpora of code.
DeepBugs
Node.js Security
The increasingly popular server-side JavaScript platform brings novel security challenges.
NDSS'18, ReDoS (USENIX Sec'18)
Static Bug Detection
Simple yet effective static analyses that reveal programming errors without requiring formal specifications.
