The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,000,000 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, doing business as Clinical Practices of the University of Pennsylvania. This grant will fund research to advance the state-of-the-art in property-based testing (PBT), a software engineering methodology for writing and automatically testing system specifications. The project aims to enhance the usability of PBT tools by developing more configurable input generators, improved specification languages, and interactive visualizations to help developers better understand and tune their test suites. Additionally, the grant will support the development of new curricula to teach mature PBT practices at the undergraduate and master's level. The award period runs from May 1, 2024 to April 30, 2027.
