Congratulations to all authors! The paper "An Empirical Analysis of Flaky Tests" inspires a long line of exciting research on flaky tests. I always enjoy seeing new research on identifying and combating flaky tests.

Bugs are unavoidable, and software resilience is crucial, especially in modern systems composed of hundreds of services. Check out the first paper on Cross-System Interaction (CSI) failures from Tianyin Xu 's team. From yesterday's outage: one click to update, but it took

#ILLINOIS CS professor Darko Marinov & former students Qingzhou Luo, Farah Hariri & Lamyaa Eloussi were awarded 2024 Test of Time Honorable Mention by the ACM ICF of Software Engineering for their 2014 paper "An empirical analysis of flaky tests." 🔸🔹 siebelschool.illinois.edu/news/marinov-f…

Seriously, disasters like #CrowdStirke can be effectively prevented by automatically unit-testing configuration updates with code that consumes the changed configurations. You'll easily see a segfault when unit-testing code that reads the new 21th field.

Always want to tweet about Jinghao Jia 's work on universally fast #Kprobes for all kernel instructions. Apart from the clean-slate design dubbed Uno-kprobe, much of the research has been upstreamed to Linux and is making Kprobes faster on more instructions. Here's Jinghao from

In Vienna for Linux Plumbers Conference 2024. Wentao (♨️ Wentao Zhang)'s team @IllinoisCDS is giving THREE talks in the Referred Track, Kernel Testing & Dependability MC, and Safe Systems with Linux MC respectively. Sadly, none of the students can make it in person (visa complexity:() so I have to

We practiced our talk for IBM Research Day at @IllinoisCDS Systems Research Seminar next week at IBM Research next week. Ready to discuss Operation Reliability from Tandem NonStop, to Recovery-Oriented Computing, to #Kubernetes operators in today's cloud system operations. A

I'm not at SOSP but this is brilliant news! Aishwarya Ganesan, Ram Alagappan and their students, Stuart Luo, Shreesha G Bhat, and Jiyu Hu received a Best Paper Award SOSP Conference for their work -- "LazyLog: A New Shared Log Abstraction for Low-Latency Applications" !!

Shan and I had a blast chatting with Gretchen about our SOSP Conference work tackling retry bugs. We're extremely grateful to our team and to Microsoft Research for featuring us on "Abstracts". Full paper, here: bastoica.github.io/files/papers/2… #sosp2024 #sosp24 #sigops
