The Inria Rennes research center is looking for a project manager for a new project on software testing, called STAMP, funded by the European Commission. The project manager would animate the consortium and orchestrate the technical contributions.
STAMP is a 3-year R&D project, which leverages advanced research in automatic test generation to push automation in DevOps one step further through innovative methods of test amplification. It will reuse existing assets (test cases, API descriptions, dependency models), in order to generate more test cases and test configurations each time the application is updated. This project has an ambitious agenda towards industry transfer. In this regard, the STAMP project gathers 3 research groups which have strong expertise in software testing and continuous development as well as 6 industry partners that develop innovative open source software products [1].
Keywords: software testing, DevOps, project management.
