Congratulations:
My heartiest congratulations to Prof. Tsong Yueh ("T.Y.") CHEN, Swinburne University of Technology, for the selection by ACM for the SIGSOFT Outstanding Research Award 2024, the most prestigious award in Software Engineering.
The Nomination:
I feel humbled and honoured that ACM accepts my nomination of T.Y. for the award, "for contributions to software testing through the invention and development of metamorphic testing". I am indebted to Prof. Alastair Donaldson of Imperial College London, Prof. Rob Hierons with University of Sheffield, and Prof. Davy Towey with University of Nottingham China Campus, for their strong endorsements of my nomination.
The Awardee:
T.Y. received the M.Phil. degree from The University of Hong Kong (HKU), the M.Sc. degree and the DIC from Imperial College London, and the Ph.D. degree from The University of Melbourne.
He served as an Associate Professor in HKU before migrating to Australia. He also served as the Acting Head of Computer Science for one year.
The Achievement:
T.Y. invented metamorphic testing (MT) in the late 1990s.
It tackled "untestable" programs by leveraging on relations among multiple inputs and outputs.
Persistent with its development, he inspired hundreds of studies by follow-up researchers.
MT is currently a recognized means to enhance traditional test case generation techniques.
It has evolved beyond software testing — to program proving, debugging, and numerous software engineering applications.

謝教授和團隊在
2010
年發表，題為「自適應隨機測試：測試用例多元化的藝術」一篇文章，榮獲《系統與軟件學報》選為
最具影響力論文獎總冠軍。團隊在
2021
年回顧該論文的博客文章「多元、多元、多元：自適應隨機測試的三大影響」，更獲得支持者一千六百多下掌聲。

謝教授和團隊提出了「蛻變式健壯性測試」的創新概念，並應用於驗證
Scopus
和
Web of Science
兩個文獻索引系統。研究結果在《IEEE
軟件工程彙刊》和《ICSE 2020》發表，揭示學術論文的標題如果包含連字符
(hyphens)，會引致「引用率」
(citation counts)
和「期刊影響因子」
(journal impact factors)
錯誤地下降。這突破性的發現，獲世界各地傳媒注意，其中包括
《ScienceAlert》、《Nature
Index》、《Communications of the ACM》、《Psychology Today》、《The Australian》和《Wikipedia》等。
