Congying XU

3rd-year PhD Student

The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST)

I am Congying XU, a third-year PhD Candiate at HKUST, supervised by Chair Prof. Shing-Chi CHEUNG (IEEE Fellow). I am exploring research topics about metamorphic testing (ASE'24, TOSEM'24).

Prior to this, I completed my Master’s degree at Fudan University, supervised by Prof. Bihuan CHEN and Prof. Xin PENG (College Deputy Dean). I completed my Bachelor’s degree at Yangzhou University, where I was supervised by Prof. Xiaobing SUN (College Dean). I explored topics about software supply-chain (FSE'22, EMSE'22, FSE'20, ICSME'20 🏆), and software analytics (ICSE'19-tool, JSS'18 ).
