Time: 11:30 AM – 12:30 PM

Speaker: Dr. Anirban Ghosh, University of Central Missouri

Host: Dr. Nouhad Rizk

Use of software is everywhere in the modern day world. Catastrophic events may occur when there are bugs in a software. A rocket can go astray, a car can crash, a money transaction can go wrong and what not? Henceforth, the importance of studying software testing is clearly evident.
With the increasing size and complexity of softwares, testing has become more challenging in the current day software development. For instance, just imagine how complex and sophisticated modern day mobile operating systems have become compared to the ones back in 90s. In this talk, we will discuss how graphs can be used to detect software faults in code segments.
