I am enthusiastic about software engineering and programming language technology for modern distributed systems and cloud applications. I focus on advancing Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to achieve reliable deployments for modern DevOps organizations.
Modern Infrastructure as Code (IaC) programs are complex and closer to traditional software than to simple configuration scripts. Yet, developers lack support to ensure the robustness of IaC programs. In our ongoing research, we investigate the relevant differences between traditional software and IaC programs to develop suitable quality assurance techniques. Specifically, we currently work on an automated unit testing technique to massively reduce manual effort by automating mocking and adjusting modern te
