Postdoc in Software Testing

The TOCSYC research environment, led by Prof. Paul Pettersson at MDH, combines five Swedish groups in software testing research to advance the knowledge of testing critical characteristics of complex embedded systems. The overall goal of TOCSYC is to enable and support cost-effective testing for critical characteristics in embedded systems by providing Swedish industry with new and improved tools and techniques for efficient and effective testing as well as the decision-support procedures necessary to select the right testing tools or techniques for their context.

As a postdoc in the project, you will be involved in research on methods to test non-functional properties such as performance efficiency and robustness in embedded systems using search-based and/or model-based approaches, or static analysis. The area of research can be adapted partly after the expertise of the applicant.
